Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of molecular cytogenetics of fish, including 'omics' techniques, offers great opportunities to explain the processes underlying chromosomal and genomic variability in fish taxa occurring in natural environments and important in aquaculture.
It enables the explanation of the processes taking place within chromosomes, cellular processes involving chromosomes, and the verification of data obtained with different methods of molecular biology. The huge variation in chromosome structures found in fish makes this group ideal for investigating the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for both genome diversity and explaining cellular processes involving chromosomes as well as chromosome evolution.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit original research, review articles, or brief reports based on methods from molecular cytogenetics to omics on any topic related to the organization, differentiation, evolution of chromosomes, and cell processes (cell division and disturbance, influence of environmental conditions, hybridization, polyploidization, epigenetic processes, etc.) involving fish genome diversity in this most species-rich and chromosomally diverse group of vertebrates.

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.
