Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s world, where environmental factors intricately influence health, bioinformatics emerges as a key player in deciphering these complex relationships. Our Special Issue, titled “Advances in Bioinformatics and Environmental Health”, is dedicated to exploring the dynamic interplay between environmental exposures, various biomarkers, and health outcomes.
The fusion of biostatistics with bioinformatics has revolutionized our ability to identify and analyze biomarkers, shedding light on the health effects of environmental changes. In this era of data-centric science, applying bioinformatics in environmental health is pivotal for unraveling the multifaceted interactions among environmental exposures, biomarker variations, and health impacts. We invite pioneering contributions that demonstrate innovative bioinformatics approaches within the environmental health sphere. Our focus extends to research developing and applying bioinformatics tools for biomarker identification and analysis, including, but not limited to, genetics, epigenetics, genomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics, as well as their connections to environmental stressors such as pollutants, chemical mixtures, extreme weather events, and their consequent health effects.
We encourage submissions from experts in the field, including research articles and critical reviews, to foster advancement in the realms of bioinformatics and environmental health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Huang Lin

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.
