Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of genome stability encompasses a broad spectrum of research areas, from genetics and molecular biology to biochemistry and bioinformatics. Its aim is to unravel the intricacies of genetic maintenance mechanisms, shedding light on their profound implications for health, notably in the realms of cancer, aging, and genetic disorders. The DNA damage response is a complex network of cellular mechanisms designed to detect, signal, and repair DNA lesions, playing a central role in maintaining genome stability by safeguarding the integrity of the genetic material. Unraveling the causes and consequences of genomic instability and its allied DNA damage response not only yields profound insights but also paves the way for targeted therapies and interventions.
Relevant topics for this collection may include the identification of novel genes associated with genome stability/instability, cutting-edge technologies for dissecting DNA damage response, and computational approaches for scrutinizing vast genomic datasets. Key focal points extend to DNA repair, replication, and recombination mechanisms, ATR/ATM checkpoint, and the impact of both internal and external genotoxins on genome stability.

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.
