Abstract: Epitranscriptomics refers to chemical changes in RNAs and includes numerous chemical types with varying stoichiometry and functions. RNA modifications are highly diverse in chemistry and respond in cell-type- and cell-state-dependent manners that enable and facilitate the execution of a wide array of biological functions. This includes roles in the regulation of transcription, translation, chromatin maintenance, immune response, and many other processes. This special issue presents the past, present, and future of epitranscriptomics research with a focus on mRNA. It includes perspectives from experts in the field, with the goal of encouraging discussions and debates that will further advance this area of research and enable it to realize its full potential in basic research and applications to human health and disease.
