Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-throughput technologies have fundamentally changed perspectives in biomedical research by enabling a shift in focus from a single gene or pathway to cellular landscapes as a whole—it has become possible to explore the same biological phenomena from different perspectives by combining them. The increasing growth of the amount and diversity of omics data raises new challenges and opportunities in multi-level data analysis, integration, visualization, interpretation, and sharing. Network sciences have been established among the most successful frameworks for representing and analyzing single- and multi-layer omics data. Algorithms that make use of their properties are being adopted to analyze relationships and find new levels of interpretation in integrated data.
In the present Special Issue, we aim to gather experiences in developing novel methodologies, pipelines, and software tools for the multi-level analysis of high-throughput data. We encourage contributions on methods and tools which are enabling emerging new omics applications, multi-omics data analysis and integration, platforms to store multiple data and facilitate their sharing, and applications of multi-level approaches to the study of biological phenomena and diseases. We kindly welcome multiple types of manuscripts, including original research articles, reviews, short communications, and concept papers.
The Special Issue will include articles from the 17th virtual edition of the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Conference (www.bbcc-meetings.it), December 13–15, 2022. For papers from conference participants, the Editorial Office will provide a 30% discount.

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.
