microRNA Bioinformatics

This special issue belongs to the section “Cell Nuclei: Function, Transport and Receptors“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Numerous computational methods have been proposed for studying the highly context-dependent interaction between miRNAs and mRNAs. Various databases for storing this information are continuously being established, and more and more applications are required for identifying new miRNAs in various species. In contrast to proteins and protein-coding RNAs, miRNAs have a greater potential to be targeted by computational methods. For this Special Issue, all kinds of studies related to the development of databases and applications, and investigations of miRNAs using existing applications are encouraged.

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. Cells 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 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.
