Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbiology encompasses several interlinked sub-disciplines, including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology and parasitology. This Special Issue aims to collect outstanding advances in the molecular aspects of microorganisms. There is no restriction regarding whether the organism is a pathogen or not, but the published studies should contribute significant advances in our knowledge regarding the molecular biology of microorganisms.
High-throughput omics techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, etc.) are providing a huge amount of data. In this regard, this Special Issue also welcomes data articles in which datasets are reported with the sole condition that data have to be deposited in dedicated repositories and that the samples and methods are described in a detailed manner.
Thus, this Special Issue plans to provide an overview of the most recent advances in the field of Molecular Microbiology. These topics include but are not limited to microbial genomics, environmental microbiology, host–microbe interaction, microbial pathogens, omics-based datasets, molecular taxonomy and any other topics in which the molecular biology of microorganisms is the guiding thread. Review articles are also welcome.
Dr. Jose María Requena
Guest Editor
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-anonymized 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.
