Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute original research and review articles to a Special Issue of Cells highlighting the role of the transcriptome in human disease. Please note that the journal has a higher impact factor of 6.1.
Transcriptomic information can provide large-scale information about gene expression in specific biological contexts and may contribute towards a better understanding of disease progression and may aid in the design of improved therapeutics. This Special Issue will highlight research employing transcriptomic data to better understand human diseases such as cancer. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: reviews of publicly available transcriptomic databases; discussion of techniques and algorithms used to quantify transcriptomic expression levels; contributions of the non-coding transcriptome including miRNA, lncRNA and piRNA to disease; use of transcriptomic information in clinical practice; transcriptomics as biomarkers for disease risk, clinical outcome or treatment efficacy; transcriptomic dysregulation during embryogenesis.
We look forward to your contributions.
