Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinformatics has become an indispensable tool in molecular biology. Analytic tools provided by bioinformaticians have allowed unprecedented insights into many aspects of medicine. For example, the generation and analysis of omics data in the context of biologic functions and pathways has permitted revolutionary advancements in terms of disease classification and the identification of therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
This Special Issue aims at describing state-of-the-art methods in bioinformatics and their application in biomedicine. The main topics covered will be:
- The analysis of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics data;
- The determination of the biologic contexts of omics data;
- The integration of omics data;
- The analysis of gene–gene interaction networks;
- In silico dissection;
- The determination of biomarkers using network-based methods and AI;
- What are the current trends in bioinformatics?
The focus will be on papers linking bioinformatics and the wet lab; therefore, they should ideally include confirmatory experiments. However, papers will be considered case by case based on overall merit.
Dr. Thomas Mohr
Guest Editor
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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
