Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, metastasis, and invasiveness. Although significant progress has been made in cancer biology research, the underlying mechanisms of carcinogenesis remain incompletely understood. Bioinformatics can accelerate the elucidation of key molecular pathways and networks driving cancer progression. This Special Issue aims to focus on the application of bioinformatics in unraveling the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying cancer initiation and advancement. We invite submissions of original research papers covering integrative analyses of cancer genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics data to gain deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms of cancer and facilitate the discovery of cancer biomarkers and novel drug targets.

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. Biology 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 2700 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.
