Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
In eukaryotes, epigenetics play an essential role in regulating gene expression, which is crucial for cell differentiation and development. With the recent advances in technologies, particular in high-throughput sequencing, the recent decades have seen significant progress being made in terms of the discovery of epigenetic phenomena, the identification of key genes related to epigenetics, methods for the quantification and genome/transcriptome mapping of epigenetic markers, evolutionary and functional analyses of epigenetic genes (family) in virous species, molecular mechanisms for epigenetic regulation, and applications in breeding and medicines. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research or review articles related to all aspect of epigenetics, including DNA methylation, RNA modification, histone modification, non-coding RNA, chromatin remodeling, and 3D genomes.
The subtopic include but not limited to:
- Epigenetics in Stem Cells
- Epigenetics and Disease
- Epigenetic Editing
- Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
- Epigenetics and Personalized Medicine

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
