Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Genomics and Bioinformatics Analysis of Human Circadian Clock”. The human circadian clock plays a crucial role in regulating a wide array of physiological processes, including sleep–wake cycles, metabolism, and hormonal rhythms. Disruptions to this clock have been linked to various health conditions such as sleep disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cancer. Recent advances in genomics and bioinformatics have provided powerful tools to explore the genetic mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms and their impact on human health. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research focused on the genetic regulation of circadian rhythms, the identification of novel clock-related genes, and bioinformatics approaches to understanding circadian clock dynamics. We welcome original research, reviews, and case studies that enhance our understanding of circadian biology and its potential therapeutic applications.

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.
