Genetics and Epigenetics in Cancers

Dear Colleagues,

Our understanding of cancer biology continues to grow with insights from studies of cancer genetics. Growing appreciation of epigenetic changes along with somatic mutations continues to contribute to our understanding of the mutational landscape in cancer. With this Special Issue of Genes, I invite you to submit your manuscripts on the genetic and epigenetic changes in any type of cancer, as well as approaches to manipulating and affecting these changes. In this Special Issue, we welcome review articles, original articles, and short reports on genetics and epigenetics of any cancer. We look forward to receiving contributions that provide insights on DNA methylation, histone modification, nucleosome remodeling, and RNA-mediated regulation of gene expression in cancers and how these changes may be exploited for novel therapeutic approaches as well as for prognostication.

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.
