1. A chemical tagging method for m6A-containing nucleic acid enrichment, comprising:
(1) treating a sample containing RNA and/or DNA with FTO or formaldehyde, wherein m6A is converted into hm6A under the presence of m6A in the RNA and/or DNA;
(2) adding a thiol compound, wherein the hm6A is reacted with the thiol compound to produce dm6A;
(3) adding MTSEA-biotin in a biotin tagging system to react with the dm6A to obtain biotinylated RNA and/or DNA; and
