Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bioinformatics, as an interdisciplinary field, has extensively covered the application of computer science, information, mathematics and computing to biological and clinical scenarios in recent decades. Now, the volume of genome data is exponentially increasing due to the application of sequencing methods such as next-generation technologies. These enormous volumes of genetic data need to be properly analysed and interpreted. Computational genomics and bioinformatics are efficient methods by which to extract biological information from complex genomic data.

This Special Issue focuses on recent developments or advances in computational genomics and bioinformatics methods in biology for the clinical field. It aims to provide both breadth in its diversity and depth in its consideration of cutting-edge techniques for computational genomics and bioinformatics.

We welcome the submission of research articles addressing significant research findings and novel methods/tools, as well as reviews in bioinformatics and computational genomics.

Dr. Quan Li
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.
