Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many major breakthroughs in biomedical research were preceded by the development of new technologies or methodologies. For instance, the development of a single polymerase chain reaction opened the door for many new research areas and laid down a solid foundation for molecular medicine. By using the current technologies and methods, we have now identified and confirmed the existence of different RNA modifications and some of their corresponding writers, erasers, and readers. To propel our studies forward and enhance our knowledge of epitranscriptomes, new technologies and methods for studying epitranscriptomes are essential.
In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of perspectives, review articles, full research reports, and technical notes with a focus on the modifications of RNA in either human or model organisms. The development, validation, and/or applications of new or improved technologies or methods that can be used in areas including but not limited to the following will be considered:
- Comprehensive profiling of epitranscriptomes;
- Sequencing or mapping RNA modifications;
- Structural studies on the effects of RNA modifications;
- Functional studies of RNA modifications;
- Multi-omics studies;
- Analysis of RNA modifications that can improve specificity, sensitivity, and/or throughput;
- Computational programs and analytics for mining the functions and distributions of RNA modifications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
