Special Issue on Noncoding DNA and RNA  

In genomics and related disciplines, noncoding DNA sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences. Some noncoding DNA is transcribed into functional non-coding RNA molecules, while others are not transcribed or give rise to RNA transcripts of unknown function. Non-coding RNAs include highly abundant and functionally important RNAs such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and so on. As both noncoding DNA and RNA play an important role in our body function, further study on them is of great attractions to researchers.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring noncoding DNA and RNA. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Noncoding DNA
• Non-coding RNA
• Function and application
• Disease and ncRNAs

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Noncoding DNA and RNA” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
