Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Guest Editors of the Special Issue “Molecular Basis of Mammalian Meiosis”, we would like to invite you to submit reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, and short communications that advance our understanding of the multifaceted fates and pathways during the meiosis of spermatozoa and oocytes. This Special Issue will especially address the biology and molecular basis of mammalian meiosis, covering topics such as first and second meiotic division, pathways that coordinate diploid cells to become haploid to ensure proper fertilization, and also what happens if errors occur during meiosis, for instance, with aneuploidy and polyploidy. This Special Issue also intends to gather knowledge on aging-related impairment of meiosis, especially with regard to the aging oocyte.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
