短文一（会议报告）
Canonical mRNA is the exception, rather than the rule
经典信使RNA其实是一种例外情况
Jun-An Chen and Simon Conn

[导读] Genome Biology常常会有一些受邀短文，会议报告是其中一种，帮助读者了解一些有趣的会议内容。这期的有关RNA的短文是为大家总结2017年6月在希腊举行的Aegean International Conference。
Abstract
A report on the Second Aegean International Conference on the Long and the Short of Non-Coding RNAs, held in Heraklion, Greece, 9–14 June 2017.
短文二(通讯回应)
Benchmarking: contexts and details matter
定标比较：请注重上下文和细节

[导读]论文发表后就意味着工作的结束吗？我们的经验往往不是这样，所以科学杂志还有勘误和通讯回应这样窗口以供读者了解更多的细节问题。这篇短文通讯从第三方的角度，强调在方法学比较上，细节和上下文会是很重要但又很容易被读者忽视的内容。有兴趣的读者还可以读一下相关的两篇通讯回应。

Abstract
Benchmarking is an essential step in the development of computational tools. We take this opportunity to pitch in our opinions on tool benchmarking, in light of two correspondence articles published in Genome Biology.
短文三（论文亮点报告）
Chromatin marks and ambient temperature-dependent flowering strike up a novel liaison
染色质信号在空气问题决定开花中的作用
Alexander Steffen and Dorothee Staiger
http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-017-1259-2
[导读]对于Research Highlight这一类文种，编辑常常是选择有些信息在原文中并不那么明显，但对读者来说确实非常重要且很可能会对他们未来工作有用。这种情况下，请一位领域内的专家写一篇短文作为点睛之笔，将可能被读者遗漏的重要内容凸显出来。
Abstract
A distinct chromatin mark, H3K36me3, has been found to engage in temperature-dependent alternative splicing and ambient temperature-dependent flowering-time control in Arabidopsis.
短文四 (论文亮点报告)
Epigenomics: dissecting hybridization and polyploidization
用表观遗传解析杂交与多倍体化
Scott A. Jackson
http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-017-1254-7
Abstract
Epigenetic profiling in diploid, allopolyploid, and domesticated cotton shows that despite most DNA methylation being conserved and stably inherited, alterations likely due to hybridization and domestication affect gene expression.
