Computational Biology of Epigenomics and Transcriptomics

Dear Colleagues,

Epigenomes is now accepting submissions for a Special Issue on Computational Biology of Epigenomics and Transcriptomics. The Special Issue is Guest-Edited by Prof. Roderic Guigó and Dr. Sílvia Pérez-Lluch from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.

In the last few years, the genomics field has witnessed a data revolution through the implementation of next-generation sequencing technologies. In this framework, Computational Biology plays a central role in the analysis and integration of the unaffordable amount of data generated in the field and in the development of sensitive, specific and efficient computational tools.

This Special Issue will be focused on the computational analysis of chromatin modifications, gene expression and RNA processing data, as well as in the development of computational tools to analyze epigenomics and transcriptomics high-throughput data. In addition to invited reviews, we welcome research and/or methods manuscripts of exceptional interest on the following topics:

• Chromatin modifications and gene expression
• Epigenetic marks and RNA processing
• Epigenomics along dynamic processes such as differentiation, reprogramming and development
• Chromatin segmentation
• Three-dimensional chromatin structure

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Epigenomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
