Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue investigates the impact of symmetry and asymmetry on biostatistics studies. In particular, the properties and effects of symmetric data distributions are discussed and compared with similar, but asymmetric, data distributions. The properties and impacts of asymmetric data distributions are discussed as well, paying particular attention to the causes of the asymmetry, such as noise or inherent distribution skewness. These topics are analyzed under the lens of biostatistics; therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the distributions and statistics of biological, chemical, and medical data. Further, special focus is given to the AI-enhanced bioinformatics applications of these studies.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
