Microbial Evolutionary Genomics and Bioinformatics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a curated collection that brings together the latest research at the intersection of microbial evolution, genomics, and bioinformatics. This issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how advanced computational methods and genomic data are revolutionizing our understanding of microbial life and its evolutionary history. The key themes and topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

1. Microbiomes genomics;
2. Bacteria genomics diversity and evolution;
3. Virus genomics and evolution;
4. Microbial pathogenicity genomics;
5. Bioinformatics advances in microbial research;
6. Microbial-genome-encoded bioactive molecules. 

Research articles and comprehensive reviews are also welcome.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Microorganisms.

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. Applied Microbiology 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 1200 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.
