We’re pleased to announce that a new themed collection from RSC Chemical Biology has now been published online.

This themed collection, guest edited by Ralph Kleiner (Princeton University, USA), Claudia Höbartner (University of Würzburg, Germany) and Guifang Jia (Peking University, China), presents articles in the field of epitranscriptomics, delving into the exploration of non-canonical ribonucleotides in biology. Taken together, we hope that readers will find this small sampling of epitranscriptomic research, showcasing recent directions in the field, to be a stimulating and thought-provoking entry point for further reading and study.

The article line-up is shared below. We’re pleased to also feature a selection of epitranscriptomics articles published in RSC Chemical Biology before and after the collection was organised. All articles in RSC Chemical Biology are open access and free to read.
