The Non-Coding RNA Journal Club: Highlights on Recent Papers

Dear Colleagues,

The number of papers dealing with new biochemical activities or new biological functions of non-coding RNAs published in recent years has indeed exploded. A simple search for ‘non-coding RNA’ in Pubmed on 30 July 2019 yielded 205,154 articles, over 70% of which were published in the last 10 years. Every researcher in this field knows that he has something to learn and can discover new ideas, new concepts, or new tools from studies made in models others than the ones used in its lab.

The Scientific Board of Non-Coding RNA publishes here its highlights. With this Topical Collection, we aim to collect a selection of the most interesting papers published recently in the non-coding RNA field. We hope we will tease your curiosity and encourage you to read full papers outside of your research area that you may not have read otherwise.

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. 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 collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Non-Coding RNA is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
