What`s new in RNA Biology?
Special Issue July 2010: Alternative Splicing and Disease
To raise the awareness of the scientific community concerning alternative splicing and human health, our Guest Editors Andrea Barta (Vienna, Austria) and Daniel Schümperli (Bern, Switzerland) solicited 12 excellent contributions for this special issue, mainly from members of the European Alternative Splicing Network (EURASNET) and through an open call.
Special Focus Reviews in 2010
Riboswitches (Guest-Editor Beatrix Suess; Frankfurt, Germany)
RNA Editing (Michael Jantsch; Vienna, Austria)
RNA Chaperones (Karin Musier-Forsyth; Columbus, OH, USA)
We invite you to send us your original manuscripts on RNA Chaperones (closing date 6 Sep 2010). The appearance of your research paper in the context of a series of Reviews written by experts in the field will increase its visibility and round out these special issues! Please contact the Editor-in-Chief (renee.schroeder@univie.ac.at) with suggestions for future Special Foci.
Landes Highlights
We are happy to introduce Landes Highlights, a News feature for RNA Biology. In this section we highlight interesting research papers or review articles that have recently been published in other Landes Bioscience journals and are relevant to the field of RNA Biology. We will provide you with a brief summary and a link to the original research paper.
Read the latest Landes Highlights!
RNA Families:
RNA Biology is now including the new section RNA Families. RNA Biology thereby supports and continues the efforts of the existing Rfam database to more systematically collect and annotate primary ncRNA data.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Paul Gardner from the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (UK) will serve as Associate Editor for the RNA Families section.
In this section we will primarily publish articles that describe either substantial updates of existing RNA families or novel RNA families. These articles are suitable as underlying detailed documentation and will be linked with the corresponding Rfam entries. Instructions for authors of Rfam papers can be obtained in the guidelines.
In addition, the RNA Families section will accept manuscripts that describe global analyses of non-coding RNAs or descriptions of tools and methods for ncRNA annotation, as well as Reviews and Perspectives relevant to the field.
RNA Biology: Mission Statement
RNA Biology is an excellent medium to discuss the current thinking on RNA, from coding and noncoding to therapeutic strategies based on that still very magic molecule. Our journal will emphasize RNA regulatory mechanisms (both natural and potentially therapeutic) and genomics as well as include post-transcriptional regulation at the mRNA level, even if a non-coding RNA is not involved. The scope would therefore cover non-coding RNAs, non-coding regions in mRNAs, and RNA-binding proteins.
This multidisciplinary journal publishes original research articles and reviews covering the latest aspects of molecular, biological and biomedical studies of genomic RNA. We will also include timely minireviews that reflect the broad scope of the journal. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats.
