Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinformatics and computational biology have seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly with the integration of concepts from biological systems, computer science, big data, and artificial intelligence.
Techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and genome-wide association studies have been increasingly applied to extract valuable knowledge from multi-omics big data, showing unprecedented performances in various applications, like drug discovery, computational pharmacology, biomarker discovery, risk prediction models, understanding the toxicology of substances, and extrapolating in vitro results to in vivo scenarios.
The interdisciplinary nature of bioinformatics and computational biology, combined with the power of modern computational techniques and the availability of big biological data, biological ontologies, and the network analysis of biological networks has led to significant advancements in our understanding of the inherent complexity in biological systems and our ability to predict and understand human health and diseases.
We invite authors to submit original research articles and review articles concerning applications of computer science and artificial intelligence to biological data.
Dr. Luca Cattelani
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
