Abstract
Epitranscriptomics refers to chemical changes in RNAs and includes numerous chemical types with varying stoichiometry and functions. RNA modifications are highly diverse in chemistry and respond in cell-type- and cell-state-dependent manners that enable and facilitate the execution of a wide array of biological functions. This includes roles in the regulation of transcription, translation, chromatin maintenance, immune response, and many other processes. This special issue presents the past, present, and future of epitranscriptomics research with a focus on mRNA. It includes perspectives from experts in the field, with the goal of encouraging discussions and debates that will further advance this area of research and enable it to realize its full potential in basic research and applications to human health and disease.
期刊介绍:
RNA is a monthly journal which provides rapid publication of significant original research in all areas of RNA structure and function in eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and viral systems. It covers a broad range of subjects in RNA research, including: structural analysis by biochemical or biophysical means; mRNA structure, function and biogenesis; alternative processing: cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors; ribosome structure and function; translational control; RNA catalysis; tRNA structure, function, biogenesis and identity; RNA editing; rRNA structure, function and biogenesis; RNA transport and localization; regulatory RNAs; large and small RNP structure, function and biogenesis; viral RNA metabolism; RNA stability and turnover; in vitro evolution; and RNA chemistry.
