Current Topics in Computational Genomics
This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular Informatics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Incorporating high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing in medical settings is only possible because of novel, extremely efficient methods developed in the years following the arrival of second- and third-generation sequencing machines. A major focus of “computational genomics” is applying statistical, mathematical, algorithmic, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and further innovative technological approaches to deal with the challenges that big data bring. With these, we hope to develop methods capable of extracting biological understanding from genomics data. For our Special Issue on “Computational Genomics”, we invite you to submit your scientific articles on innovative methods in interdisciplinary genomic research with a special focus on molecular levels. By publishing in an open access journal, your research will be freely and permanently available to the scientific community.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
