Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join The 1st International Electronic Conference on Genes (IECGE2020), organized by the MDPI Open-Access journal Genes (Impact Factor 3.759). This free e-conference will present the latest research related to the topics of DNA and RNA sequencing, epigenetics and metagenomics.
The last ten years have consolidated Genomics as one of the faster evolving disciplines in biology. It is used by a wide range of fields, from molecular biology to ecology. Its applications go beyond genome sequencing and transcriptomic analysis, they are used to profile communities, analyze epigenetic modifications and characterize populations. This conference wants to serve as virtual space to present scientific works and change ideas under the umbrella of this fast evolving discipline.
During the month of November, IECGE2020 will allow to share your online presentations worldwide, making your work available for the audience to read and comment, and sharing ideas on the discussed topic.
All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the conference Scientific Committee and upon acceptance, will be published in a dedicated issue of the MDPI journal Proceedings. After the conference, all participants will be encouraged to submit a full paper to one dedicated Special Issue in Genes with a 20% discount on the article processing charges (APC).
Moreover, during the conference, a number of internationally renowned speakers will share their current state-of-the-art research, through a series of pre-recorded talks and free live-streaming webinars, which will also include a Q&A session to allow audience participation.
We hope that you will join this conference to exchange ideas, merge different areas of expertise and engage in potential successful collaborations.
