Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational biology is an extensive discipline that combines computational, statistical, experimental, and technological methods to build and analyze models for diverse biological data and systems. Many optimization problems have arisen from computational biology, such as biological sequence analysis, regulatory motif discovery, genome identification, and biochemical reaction networks. Computational biologists require fast algorithms to solve these optimization problems or a better understanding of complexity in the problems to help implement efficient solutions and design the concomitant high-performance computing and heuristic requirements. The principles and complexities of developing algorithms have been widely studied and analyzed for application to real biological data sets. The significance and implications of algorithms in computational biology are proliferating.
This Special Issue aims to improve our understanding of the interplay between algorithms and computational biology. The goal is to explore new directions in designing algorithms and establish new foundations in computational biology.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- The design and analysis of graph algorithms, randomized, parameterized, distributed, and other types of algorithms;
- Biological sequence analysis, protein identification, regulatory motif discovery, evolutionary theory, clustering algorithms, and scale-free networks.

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. Algorithms 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 1600 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.
