Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Along with the advance of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, large-scale, tissue-level, and single-cell omic datasets have been being generated to characterize the dysfunctional molecular mechanisms within cells and the microenvironments of complex diseases, like cancer, neuroscience, aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and inflammation However, it remains challenging to integrate and interpret the omic data for precision medicine. Precision medicine involves identifying computational models that take the omic data as the input and outputs a list of key targets, signaling pathways, and potentially effective medications. Thus, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence (AI) are critical and must be improved to mine the knowledge from large-scale omic datasets. Therefore, novel bioinformatics and AI models are urgently needed for integrating and interpreting the omic datasets to facilitate the development of precision medicine. Herein, we invite studies making use of bioinformatics and AI models to analyze the biomedical data to identify the key disease signaling targets, signaling pathways, and predict/reposition effective drugs or synergistic drug combinations.

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.
