Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological advances in high-throughput approaches over the last decade have uncovered detailed biological and molecular information on human health and diseases. State-of-the-art omics approaches include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other fields that play a prominent role in promoting studies across multiple levels of biology. Currently, the application of omics sciences is crucial for several human research areas spanning disease mechanism understanding and treatment. The widespread use of omics leads to an exponential increase in output data. Most recently, the availability of computational approaches of correlation, machine learning, and deep learning has allowed the integration and sharing of datasets belonging to different omics analyses. From data integration, multi-omics can be applied to understand complex molecular system and to study comprehensive human disease, biomarker identification and monitoring, and novel target-therapy development.
This Special Issue aims to explore the forefront of omics application and its translational relevance in human health and disease. It focuses on the existing omics technologies, from experimental design to bioinformatics data analysis. Additionally, it will be dedicated also to multi-omics approaches aimed at improving the integration of datasets. Finally, discussion about ongoing and future prospective challenges, especially in the area of precision medicine, will be featured. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive resource highlighting cutting-edge experimental approaches and novel trends in this rapidly evolving area.

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.
