Special Issue Information
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:
- Microbiomes genomics;
- Bacteria genomics diversity and evolution;
- Virus genomics and evolution;
- Microbial pathogenicity genomics;
- Bioinformatics advances in microbial research;
- Microbial-genome-encoded bioactive molecules.
Research articles and comprehensive reviews are also welcome.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Microorganisms.
