Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrigenomics is an emerging field that investigates the interaction between nutrients and genes, in addition to how this interaction affects human health and disease. Advances in nutrigenomics research have revealed that nutrient intake can trigger changes in gene expression and that epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in this process.
This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research and review articles on recent advances in the epigenetic control of gene expression, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, and RNA as well as protein modifications, through dietary compounds. We welcome contributions that explore the underlying epigenetic mechanisms of how nutrients modulate gene expression in different tissues and cell types in addition to how these changes contribute to health and disease. Furthermore, topics of interest include the identification of genetic variants that influence nutrient metabolism and the development of biomarkers for predicting disease risk and treatment response.
We encourage submissions of articles that describe novel technological approaches with which to investigate the epigenetic regulation of gene expression via nutrients and that discuss epigenetic-based strategies for optimizing personalized nutrition plans to prevent or treat chronic diseases.
We hope that this collection of research will advance our understanding of the interaction between nutrition and genes and contribute to the development of new strategies for preventing and treating chronic diseases.
Thank you for your contributions to this exciting area of research.
Sincerely,
Dr. Fabio Caradonna
Dr. Flores Naselli

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.
