Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, researchers have devoted themselves to investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases, which is crucial for identifying strategies that facilitate healthy aging. Genomics and multi-omics approaches have significantly advanced biomedical research, providing the research community with unprecedented quantities of data. Despite the fact that we have gained more knowledge about the aging process and the pathways of disease susceptibility, there is significant variation among individuals with regard to their rate of aging and disease susceptibility. This variation has a genetic component, but we have an incomplete understanding of the genetic basis of this variation, particularly concerning genes that control the age-specific changes in traits that contribute to senescence and ultimately limit life span.
This Special Issue, entitled “Genetic Variation in Age-Related Changes”, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances in this timely topic and a preview of future research directions and challenges.

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.
