Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of microarray-based assays for gene expression and genomic DNA analysis has rapidly expanded in various fields of molecular biology, including life sciences, translational research and molecular diagnostics. The success of the microarray technologies derives from their ability to perform multiplex analysis of biological systems at the cellular, protein, and genetic levels in a massively parallel way. The recent advances in array technology, bioinformatics, and statistics, as well as the reductions in costs, have reinforced the clinical utility of microarrays for diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic purposes in healthcare. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions on the applications of microarray analysis in disease diagnostics and personalized medicine. These include biomarker discovery, diagnosis and classification of human cancers, pharmacogenetics, proteomics, and chromosomal analysis, as well as analytical tools for data processing and analysis.

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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
