We are very pleased to announce a special issue, to be published in April 2017, on ＂RNA Epigenetics＂ in the journal Genomics, Proteomics ＆ Bioinformatics （GPB）. RNAs are life＇s essential molecules with diverse functions. The identification and functional studies of multiple types of non-coding RNAs have been a major focus of life science research during the past decade. Moreover, diversified chemical modifications as well as structural dynamics of RNAs have emerged as additional layers of gene regulatory complexity, which form new dimensions of the research on RNA epigenetics. These multiple layers of RNA epigenetics shape the transcriptomic and proteomic landscape of our cells, and in turn regulate a broad range of biological functions. To unravel the mysteries of ＂RNA world＂, we dedicate this special issue to the current advances of RNA epigenetics and beyond.
