Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to meet people's living needs, millions of poultry are raised worldwide for meat and egg production annually, making it crucial to develop the genetic improvement and breeding processes in the poultry industry. In the process of breeding, the selection of genes and variants associated with the traits of interest is particularly important. These can include disease resistance, growth traits, and reproductive performance. Multi-omics analysis can be used to explore the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of key genes and their regulation. Appropriate breeding methods can significantly improve production potential. Stem cell technology and molecular breeding have an increasing role to play in the modern poultry industry. This Special Issue will present the latest research related to poultry breeding and will cover various aspects, providing a variety of solution strategies for the improvement of the poultry breeding process.

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.
