Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenomic regulation refers to heritable alterations in gene expression that do not involve changes in DNA sequences themselves. DNA modifications were proposed as carriers of epigenetic information in early research, with subsequent work revealing that histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, noncoding RNAs, and RNA modifications are also important in this process. The rapidly accelerating, cutting-edge field of epigenomics research has led to remarkable progress in our understanding of molecular mechanisms related to this process, its regulatory functions, and its interaction with other biological process.
This Special Issue, entitled “DNA and RNA Epigenetics and Transcriptomics Research, Volume II”, is the second edition of the Special Issue "DNA and RNA Epigenetics and Transcriptomics Research" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/genes/special_issues/DNA_and_RNA_Epigenetics_and_Transcriptomics_Research). It will focus on the interplay between regulatory function and epigenomics, including cellular and reprogramming events, epigenetic inheritance across generations, and responses to physiological stimuli and disease. Moreover, this issue will discuss non-coding RNAs; DNA and RNA modifications; and the role of chromatin accessibility in regulating both inheritance and gene expression plasticity.

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.
