Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer genomics and transcriptomics have revolutionized our understanding of tumor biology, revealing the intricate molecular landscapes that drive cancer progression and response to therapy. This Special Issue, titled "Cancer Genomics and Transcriptomics: Uncovering New Frontiers in Tumor Biology", will showcase the latest advancements and emerging trends in these fields, providing a comprehensive overview of how genomic and transcriptomic analyses are reshaping cancer research and treatment. We will explore cutting-edge studies that leverage high-throughput sequencing technologies to dissect the genetic and transcriptomic alterations underpinning various cancer types. Key topics include understanding the functional roles of established oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the impacts of non-coding RNAs in cancer, and the influence of somatic mutations on tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Furthermore, we will highlight integrative strategies that merge genomics and transcriptomics with other omics data to unravel the complexities of tumor biology and enhance patient stratification. This Special Issue will also address the challenges and opportunities associated with translating genomic and transcriptomic discoveries into clinical practice. By bringing together contributions from leading researchers in the field, this Special Issue will provide insights into the latest methodologies, foster collaborative efforts, and stimulate future research directions. Ultimately, our goal is to advance the development of personalized cancer therapies and enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving cancer, paving the way for more effective and targeted treatment strategies.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
