Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genomic research has been pivotal in uncovering the microbial world and shedding light on its evolution, diversity and functionality. We are excited to announce this Special Issue of Genes aiming to untangle genetic intricacies in microorganisms, with a specific focus on bioinformatics advancements.
Bioinformatics tools are crucial in functional genomics, analysing gene expression and regulatory networks in microbial communities. Coupling metagenomics with bioinformatics allows for the exploration of entire microbial ecosystems, unveiling their functional potential and diversity.
We welcome original research, review and methodological papers on bioinformatics applications in microbial research, microbial evolution genomics and epidemiological investigations in the microbial world.
Dr. Vagner Fonseca
Guest Editor
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. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
