RNA: Methods and Protocols
A new thematic series, now accepting submissions
Silence is inviting submissions for a new article series on methods and protocols in analyzing RNA.
This special collection of articles will provide novel insights into the latest methods within the field of RNA, addressing questions of general interest to the RNA community, as well as predictions on future uses, modifications and improvements that would advance existing methods beyond their current use.
To submit your manuscript, please use our online submission system and indicate in your covering letter that you would like it to be considered for the series, or alternatively, send a pre-submission enquiry to editorial@silencejournal.com.
