Bioinformatics of Human Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Bioinformatics is the scientific discipline that involves the use of computers to collect, store and analyze information about biological data, including DNA and amino acid sequences or annotations about sequences. Bioinformatics is an important discipline for life science research today. The goal of this research branch is to reveal the complexity of genome information structure and the fundamental laws of genetic language, and to clarify the structure, function, interaction and relationship between human proteins and various human diseases, seeking for a variety of therapeutic and preventive measures.

Given the significant potential of bioinformatics to understand human disease, this Special Issue invites researchers to publish their work on bioinformatics analysis methods for disease identification, classification, diagnosis and prognosis that address the current advances in bioinformatics relating human diseases. If you would like more information about the Special Issue, please feel free to contact us.
