Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenetic changes have been implicated in various diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, autoimmune disease and cardiovascular disease. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence, and epigenomics is the study of these changes across the entire genome. In recent years, advances in high-throughput sequencing technology, genome editing and multi-omics analysis have facilitated the study of epigenetic changes. This Special Issue will focus on studies utilizing advances in epigenetics and epigenomics including, but not limited to, single-cell epigenomics, CRISPR-based epigenomic editing, DNA methylation and demethylation dynamics, epitranscriptomics and the integration of epigenomic data with other “omics” fields.

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.
