Note from the Editor
This extract was created in the absence of an abstract.
RNA is pleased to present the third in a series of special issues, each devoted to a developing and exciting area of current RNA biology. The first two issues dealt with possible roles of RNA in biological condensates [edited by Tom Cech (January 2022; 28: 1–113)] and RNA therapeutics [edited by Adrian Krainer and Michelle Hastings (April 2023; 29: 393–515)].
This issue provides a variety of perspectives on the current state of epitranscriptomics. Epitranscriptomics was recently the focus of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report, Charting a Future for Sequencing RNA and Its Modifications: A New Era for Biology and Medicine. The editors of the current issue, Tao Pan, Professor at the University of Chicago and Kate D. Meyer, Assistant Professor at Duke University, are both experts in the field and both served on the NASEM committee.
