Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of MDPI Biology focuses on accelerating progress in translational science through the integration of bioinformatics and big data analytics. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically enhanced the potential of biological discovery by empowering bioinformatics tools with greater accuracy, scalability, and predictive power. Meanwhile, biomedical research has been transformed by multi-modal technologies that generate high-dimensional datasets across diverse biological systems.
Together, these developments form a powerful synergy: AI-driven bioinformatics and big data approaches are redefining how we predict, diagnose, and treat disease, laying the foundation for next-generation personalized and precision medicine.
The goal of this Special Issue is to inspire researchers to explore computational strategies and uncover novel insights into disease mechanisms, onset, and progression. We particularly welcome submissions that present new tools, methodologies, or applications leveraging bioinformatics and big data to address challenges in translational science. This issue will also cover application in areas enabled by integrative analyses, including but not limited to medical pathology, biomarker discovery, ethical and safety considerations, functional genomics analysis, and the impact of AI-driven computational solutions.
This Special Issue will foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advance translational research, ultimately improving clinical outcomes through data-informed discovery.
Dr. Zongliang Yue

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. Biology 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 2700 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.
