Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins and are emerging as potent versatile regulators of all biological processes. According to their sizes, ncRNAs are classified into two broad categories: small non-coding RNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Along with lncRNAs, a number of small non-coding RNA species, including miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, and circRNAs, have recently displayed significant association with human diseases and might serve as potential targets for gene therapy as well as diagnostic biomarkers. In particular, this Special Issue concentrates on how the aforementioned ncRNAs are involved in disease development and how they can be exploited for disease management.

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. Genes 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 2600 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.
