Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
RNA is critical to life, passing the information from genomic DNA to the downstream life processes, for example, translation and RNA-mediated gene regulation. RNAs are also diverse, including messenger RNA, small non-coding RNA, circular RNA, etc. Studying the function of RNA molecules has been a central topic in molecular biology. In this Special Issue, we focus on the mechanisms of RNA regulations in cells, including both in vivo and in vitro studies of RNA molecules. We look forward to a wide variety of omics approaches to study RNAs and dissect RNA processing and regulation steps. We anticipate high-throughput studies using next-generation sequencing to power the investigation of RNAs at the transcriptome scale, such as RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, third-generation sequencing of RNAs, etc. In addition to mRNAs, studies focusing on other types of RNAs, such as non-coding RNAs and small RNAs, are also welcome. We aim to collect cutting-edge studies covering fundamental topics of the current RNA research. This Special Issue also encourages collaborative and interdisciplinary projects that span more than one field.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
