Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to participate in this Special Issue, “RNA Epigenetics: RNA Modification and Epitranscriptome Analysis—2nd Edition”.
RNA modifications are essential biological mechanisms that alter the structure and function of RNA molecules, affecting a myriad of vital processes in different species, including animals, plants, and microorganisms. These modifications occur naturally in various types of RNA, such as mRNA, lncRNA, rRNA, tRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, and circRNA, and are crucial in the regulation of RNA activity. In essence, RNA modifications help regulate the stability, localization, and translation of RNA, which are key factors in gene expression. In addition, RNA modifications play a significant role in the onset and progression of various diseases, including cancer. The process of modifying RNA is a highly regulated one, and any disruption or dysregulation in this can lead to disease.
In this Special Issue, we aim to gather articles from all aspects of RNA epitranscriptomics on any life form (e.g., mammal, vertebrate, plant, and virus). Topics for consideration include, but are not limited to, new wet experimental results/biomolecular mechanisms, new computational and experimental combined analysis, novel bioinformatics software/pipelines for analysis epigenetics data, new/updated RNA modification knowledge base, new web-server tools, and review article for publication.

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. Genes 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.
