Editorial Board Member Assoc. Prof. Simon Conn representing Non-Coding RNA at EMBO Workshop “Noncoding RNAs in embryonic development and cell differentiation” 2018
Assoc. Prof. Simon Conn (Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia), who is serving as Editorial Board Member for Non-Coding RNA, attended the European Molecular Biology Organisation “Noncoding RNAs in embryonic development and cell differentiation” workshop, held at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Rehovot, ISRAEL) between April 8th and 11th (http://meetings.embo.org/event/18-ncrna).
As a follow-up to the hugely successful meeting in 2016, this workshop once again accumulated world leaders in non-coding RNA research and provided an intimate forum to exchange information and discuss the latest findings into the roles of ncRNAs as critical effectors of cell development and differentiation.
Assoc. Prof. Simon Conn, one of the pioneers in the circular RNA research field, contributed to this conference by presenting his work entitled “Exhaustive Circular RNA Profiling Across Human Stem Cell Differentiation”. In this presentation, Assoc. Prof. Conn elaborated on the regulation of circular RNAs throughout differentiation of human stem cells into 5 distinct cell lineages, and how diversification of circular RNA identity is permitting the identification of novel functions for this enigmatic class of ncRNA molecules.

MDPI Becoming a Member of UKSG
We are proud to announce that MDPI is now a member of UKSG, the UK´s largest scholarly communications community. Through UKSG, different stakeholders share their knowledge and experience in order to improve the knowledge and information environment for researchers. UKSG´s members include universities, publishers, content providers, intermediaries, and other similar organisations. Members participate in discussions and events on issues around scholarly communications.
The UKSG Annual Conference and Exhibition is a flagship initiative from the UKSG and one of the most stimulating events in the scholarly communications calendar. It is held annually and attracts a large number of delegates. More information is available at https://www.uksg.org/events/annualconference
MDPI is delighted to be a part of this active community and we look forward to making our own contribution. We will continue to support organisations and initiatives that boost collaboration and vision within scholarly communication.
More information about UKSG can be found at https://www.uksg.org/. The full membership list is available at: https://www.uksg.org/members.

Editorial Board Member Prof. Dr. John Mattick representing Non-Coding RNA at AGBT 2018
Prof. Dr. John Mattich (Garvan Institute, Sidney, Australia), who is serving as Editorial Board Member for Non-Coding RNA, attended the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) 2018 meeting, held in Orlando (FL, USA) between February 12th and 15th (http://www.agbt.org/).
AGBT is considered one of the most relevant conferences in genome science and technology, providing a remarkable forum for exchanging information about the latest advances in DNA sequencing technologies and new approaches for genomic studies.
Prof. Dr. John Mattick, one of the pioneers in the non-coding RNA, assisted as a source of scientific inspiration for many attendees by presenting his work entitled “Modular structure and plasticity of regulatory RNA”. In this presentation, Prof. Dr. Mattick showed his findings on non-coding exons, and how this link to the evolutionary history and the functional architecture of regulatory RNAs.
