RSC Chemical Biology is delighted to welcome papers for its latest themed collection on ‘Epigenetics and epitranscriptomics’, guest edited by Prof. Arasu Ganesan (Liverpool John Moores University, UK), Prof. Masayuki Sakurai (Tokyo University of Science, Japan), and Prof. Stefanie Kaiser (Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany).
Epigenetic and epitranscriptomic modifications have important roles in normal biological function and disease states, and their investigation and control has significance for understanding cell processes and the design of therapeutics. This themed collection aims to draw together research investigating, and manipulating these, including but not limited to small molecule and enzymatic tools, mapping techniques, probes, and editing methods.
The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2026.
Promotion of the collection is scheduled for early 2027, with articles published online as soon as they’re accepted.
Authors are welcome to submit original research in the form of a Communication or Full Paper. Articles can be submitted via our website: rsc.li/rsc-chembio. When submitting your manuscript, please mention that it is intended for this themed collection in the “notes to the editor” box. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions for both the journal and the scope of the collection, and inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed collection is not guaranteed.
