Data-Based Bioinformatics and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Mining and analyzing data-based bioinformatics makes it possible to screen key genes and pathways associated with some diseases. Data-based bioinformatics can be leveraged to create an atmosphere in which all stakeholders can seamlessly access data and process it to meet their needs. It can be used to explore protein networks in the diagnosis of diseases, such as the neuroinflammatory processes in Alzheimer’s disease. High-throughput data-based bioinformatics strategies are efficient and comprehensive research methods that have effectuated new perspectives and remarkable breakthroughs in resolving disease perplexities.

This Special Issue will publish papers on a wide range of data-based bioinformatics topics and applications. This Special Issue will also publish reviews for the users of databases and analytical tools of contemporary genetics, molecular and systems biology. Across this topic, papers must build on a deep understanding and utilization of medical domain knowledge and should consider pragmatic translation for clinical care or applications. Papers must focus on novel informatics methods and its comparison to the current approaches. This Special Issue will consider articles describing novel computational algorithms and software, models and tools, including statistical methods, machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as systems biology. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Clinical decision support;
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning used for data-based bioinformatics;
• Knowledge representation for healthcare;
• Translational bioinformatics;
• Ontology for bioinformatics applications;
• Intelligent mining of large-scale bio-data;
• Ensemble methods in bioinformatics;
• Bioinformatics research and applications;
• Data dimension reduction methods in high-dimensional databases;
• Clinical research bioinformatics;
• Transfer learning in bioinformatics;
• Multitask learning in bioinformatics;
• Graph neural networks and their current applications in bioinformatics;
• Computational intelligence in data-based bioinformatics;
• Pattern recognition techniques in bioinformatics;
• Software and databases.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Big Data and Cognitive Computing 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 1800 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.
