New Applications of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Dear Colleagues,

The unstoppable advancement of biomedical technologies, and, in particular, those related to the production of omics data, has led to a rapid advancement in all areas of biology and medicine and for all kingdoms of life.

At the same time, the need for new tools to support the management and analysis of the data produced also continues to grow and open up new research horizons.

In this context, bioinformatics provides tools and pipelines to facilitate the elaboration of biomedical data, and computational biology helps to improve our understanding and characterization of biological systems.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring highly innovative applications in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• New algorithms and pipelines for biomedical data analyses;
• Approaches for integrated biomedical data analyses (omics, bioimages, clinical and lifestyle data);
• New databases and collections of biomedical resources;
• Innovative applications of artificial intelligence to biomedical issues;
• High-throughput omics data analyses;
• Health-care applications.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
