Our paper was selected for the cover of Molecular Cell!
“We adore chaos because we love to produce order.” —M.C. Escher. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Gokhale and McIntyre et al. (pp. 542–555) find altered m6A modification of transcripts involved in Flaviviridae infection. The Escherian cover art abstractly illustrates how, during infection, the interwoven pattern of the seemingly same transcripts and their functions can be tweaked by small RNA modifications like m6A. Artwork by Falguni Gokhale.
