RNA Biology


RNA Biology is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of ribonucleic acid research. It is indexed for MEDLINE. The current editor-in-chief is Alain Laederach. Since 2022, it has converted to a full Open Access and exclusively online journal.

Wikipedia initiative

The journal launched a new section for descriptions of families of RNA molecules in December 2008 and requires contributing authors to also submit a draft article on the RNA family for publication in Wikipedia. The journal submits the draft article to peer review and then publish it in Wikipedia. This initiative is a collaboration between the journal and the consortium that produces the Rfam database of RNA families.
