Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alongside the continuous progress of biotechnology, molecular genetics, breeding theory and methods, scientists in the field have rapidly developed high-quality germplasms. The current Special Issue on “Molecular Genetics and Breeding Mechanisms in Domestic Animals” explores and disseminates the latest research trends and achievements in the scientific field of animal molecular genetics and breeding. This Special Issue also aims to explore the achievements in research concerning disease-resistance breeding, which is of great significance to the development of animal husbandry and human health.
We invite submissions that discuss the molecular biology, genetics and immunity of domestic animals, placing particular emphasis on the following topics:
- Analysis of molecular mechanisms of character formation based on multiomics;
- Genetic mechanism research about important functional genes in animals;
- New breeding theory based on bio-informatics;
- Effects of microbiota on immune development;
- Molecular interactions between microbial products and host sensors.
Prof. Dr. Guiping Zhao

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.
