Special Issue Information
This Topical Collection, “Feature Papers in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology”, collects high-quality research articles on outstanding new algorithms and databases in computational molecular biology and significant discoveries that have been developed through the specialized use of computational tools, methods, and databases. It also includes review articles that cover popular and emerging areas of research. With the goal to cover the frontiers of the research in bioinformatics and systems biology, the submissions that reflect the latest progress in their research field are limited to the the Editorial Board Members of Biomolecules and the senior authors they invite. These invited papers will be published online, free of charge, once accepted.
Topics covered in this Collection include, without being limited to, the following:
- Databases and ontologies;
- Function determination and prediction;
- Gene and protein expression analysis;
- Gene and protein networks;
- Genome and proteome analysis;
- Phylogenetics;
- Sequence analysis;
- Structural bioinformatics;
- Structure determination and prediction;
- Systems biology.
