Omics Era: From Principles to Applications in Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The recent advent of technologies has revolutionized different methods for mining the DNA, RNA and protein data of various organisms. These enormous data enabled the exploration of various pathways in living organisms through the assistance of a variety of bioinformatics tools. Diseases in plants, animals and human beings can be caused by abiotic and biotic factors. Emergence of the “Omics” era has allowed for the discovery of biotic factors (i.e., bacteria and viruses) and the process of different pathways in the host. Therefore, “Omics” tools are essential to disease diagnosis and finding effective treatments for various diseases. Alongside applications of “Omics” in disease diagnosis, various bioinformatic tools have been developed for interpreting and mining “Omics” data from different organisms. The development of bioinformatic tools strengthens the reliability of research results and shortens the time of study.

This Special Issue welcomes the submission of review and original research papers or short communications on the following topics: genomics, comparative genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics research; functional genomics and metagenomics; the discovery of new pathways; application of omics for disease diagnostics and treatments; and bioinformatic tools.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
