Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
RNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression has recently emerged as a cutting-edge research field, where bioinformatics analysis of RNA data provides crucial support for understanding the molecular mechanisms of physiological and disease processes related to the RNA network, and for developing novel disease prevention and treatment strategies that exploit or target RNAs. Epitranscriptomic RNA modification and non-coding RNA network constitute the main building blocks of RNA regulation, which could conventionally regulate thousands of targets in the transcriptomes. Clearly, the wide regulatory spectrum of these RNA modification and non-coding RNA signifies the continuous development of bioinformatics methods and their application scenario for better interpretation of their distribution, dynamics, function and disease associations.
This Special Issue in Biology aims to provide a communication platform for bioinformatics specialists and experimental biologists in the field of RNA modification and non-coding RNA regulation. While we focus on the development of advanced bioinformatics methods for the detection, prediction, functional analysis and therapeutic association of RNA modification and non-coding RNA, submissions on novel integrative applications of available bioinformatics methods used to highlight the significance of RNA regulation in biological and disease processes are also welcome.

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. 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 2700 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.
