Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in sequencing technologies have profoundly transformed our understanding of genetics, enabling the high-throughput analysis of entire genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes. These innovations have unraveled complex genetic networks and opened new avenues across diverse scientific disciplines.
This Special Issue aims at showcasing the latest developments and innovative applications of cutting-edge sequencing technologies. We welcome contributions that explore integrating these methods across various research domains, including genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, and epigenomics. Topics may encompass technical breakthroughs enhancing sequencing accuracy and efficiency, as well as practical implications in fields such as personalized medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and beyond. By presenting diverse studies and perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how sequencing advancements are transforming scientific practices and fostering discoveries.
Since the development of Sanger sequencing, the field has witnessed significant progress, with modern techniques revolutionizing our approach to genetic analysis. These advancements have facilitated breakthroughs in personalized medicine, evolutionary biology, agriculture, environmental science, forensics, and numerous other research areas.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that delve into recent advancements in sequencing technologies and their applications across a broad spectrum of fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, personalized medicine, evolutionary biology, agriculture, environmental science, forensics, and bioinformatics.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue, which will collectively enhance our understanding of the evolving landscape of sequencing technologies and their multifaceted applications.

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. Genes 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.
