Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms inhabit every type of environment, and many live in association with eukaryotic hosts. There are various exciting and interesting research opportunities in this field. The evolutionary fate of both the hosts and microbes in various microenvironment is intertwined. Host–microbe interactions are therefore subject to intense research from both mechanistic and evolutionary perspectives.
This Special Issue, entitled ‘Research of Microbial Diversity and Functions in Environment and Host’, elucidates the potential mechanism of how to construct a meaningful microbial interaction network using multi-omics analysis (genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome, etc.). It will cover topics including, but not limited to, gut microbiota, environmental microbiology, host–microbe interaction, medical microbiology, functional food and any other fields in the scope of mining biological information and microbial resources. As a kind reminder, you are encouraged to apply or expand theories (or hypotheses) of host–microbiota interactions and microbe–microbe interactions in your studies to improve readability.

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. Genes 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.
