Transcription (journal)
Transcription is a peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal published by Taylor & Francis Group. It focuses on the study of RNA, encompassing all aspects from its synthesis and processing to its diverse functions in cellular processes. The journal's scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Transcription mechanisms: Investigating the molecular mechanisms of RNA polymerase activity, transcription factor binding, and chromatin remodeling in the regulation of gene expression.
- RNA processing: Examining the various steps involved in RNA maturation, including splicing, capping, polyadenylation, and RNA editing.
- RNA structure and function: Exploring the three-dimensional structure of RNA molecules and their roles in translation, RNA stability, and RNA-protein interactions.
- Non-coding RNA: Covering the biogenesis, function, and regulation of various non-coding RNA species, such as microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs.
- RNA modifications: Studying the chemical modifications of RNA molecules and their impact on RNA function and stability.
- RNA therapeutics: Investigating the use of RNA-based therapies, such as RNA interference and antisense oligonucleotides, for the treatment of various diseases.
- Epigenetics and Transcription: Studies that explore how epigenetic modifications influence transcription and gene expression patterns.
The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and short communications. Transcription aims to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings and to foster collaborations in the field of RNA biology. The journal emphasizes rigorous scientific standards and a thorough peer-review process. It welcomes submissions from researchers around the world.
