Editorial activities
Each member of the unit is involved in diverse research and non-research activities. Some are more devoted to teaching, and others are editors, permanently or exceptionally during the time of a special issue. Here are some examples:
Florent Hubé
Editor at ‘Non-coding RNA (MDPI)
Editor at ‘J (MDPI)
Associate Editor at ‘Frontiers in genetics, section RNA
Guest Editor at ‘Non-coding RNA‘ for a topical collection : ‘Non Coding RNA Methods‘
Guest Editor at ‘Frontiers in BioScience‘ for a special issue : ‘Genetics and Epigenetics, who decides ?‘
Guest Editor at ‘Frontiers in Genetics & Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, section RNA‘ for a special issue : ‘Intron-centric transcription and its role in normal physiology and disease‘
Céline Morey
Associate Editor at ‘Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, section Developmental Epigenetics‘
Guest Editor at ‘Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, section Developmental Epigenetics‘ for a special issue : ‘Gene Regulation From the X-Chromosome During Development and Disease‘
Claire Rougeulle
