Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with several clinical and genomic subtypes, making it an exemplary candidate for precision medicine. Advances in next-generation sequencing have shed light on the key mutations associated with breast cancer development and can highlight new therapeutic targets, such as ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition in patients with mutations in BRCA1/2 DNA repair genes.
This Special Issue ‘Genomics of Breast Cancer’ aims to present genomic and clinical aspects of breast cancers that broaden our understanding of the disease and we welcome contributions that include, but are not limited to, the topics of genomics, transcriptomics, sequencing, molecular biology, tumour heterogeneity, patient samples or animal models and that advance our understanding of breast cancers or could highlight novel diagnostic and treatment strategies for this disease.
Dr. Ciara O'Flanagan

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.
