What`s new in RNA Biology?

Special Focus Reviews in 2010:

Riboswitches (Guest-Editor Beatrix Suess; Frankfurt, Germany)
RNA Editing (Michael Jantsch; Vienna, Austria)
Alternative Splicing and Disease (Andrea Barta; Vienna, Austria and Daniel Schümperli, Bern, Switzerland)
RNA Chaperones (Karin Musier-Forsyth; Columbus, OH, USA)

We invite you to send us your original manuscripts on RNA Editing (closing date 6 January 2010), Alternative Splicing (closing date 6 March 2010) and RNA Chaperones (closing date 6 May 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 starting November 2009:

We are happy to introduce Landes Highlights, a News feature for RNA Biology. In this section we plan to 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 first Landes Highlights in the November/December issue!

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.
