New Developments and Applications in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
This special issue belongs to the section “Entropy and Biology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is a field of increasing interest due to recent developments in AI and ICT technologies, as well as the production of massive data in the field of biology and medicine thanks to the development of omics techniques. Further development of novel methods and tools is needed to correctly manage, analyze, use and re-use, and interpret the amount of data being generated in the biological sciences.
This Special Issue aims to present novel methods as well as applications of new and existing tools in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology area. Developments and applications in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are of particular interest, although any study in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology area is suitable for this Special Issue.

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. Entropy 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.
