Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DNA Copy Number Variations (CNVs) make genomes highly dynamic and, therefore, are a key mechanism for cells to adapt and evolve. The increased resolution of genomic analyses has revealed that CNVs are abundant and diverse across human populations and therefore can be reliably used as disease susceptibility markers for many complex disorders. The availability of large-scale population studies combining multiple “omics” analyses together with sophisticated mathematical and statistical methodologies provide a unique opportunity to further characterize the underlying mechanisms of CNV formation, the role of CNVs as gene regulators and the use of CNVs as disease biomarkers. In this Special Issue of Microarrays we are looking for contributions that deepen our current understanding of CNVs in the context of basic and clinical research. Experimental and theoretical studies are welcome.

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. Microarrays 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 350 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.
