Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tracking viral diversity has been useful in understanding viral evolution, transmission dynamics, clinical manifestations and reinfections; and in subsidizing public health policy. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to an unprecedented viral genomic surveillance effort and increased global sequencing capacity. Although more than 1000 lineages have already been described, SARS-CoV-2 diversity gained major focus after the World Health Organization designated the variants of interest (VOIs) and variants of concern (VOCs). A Special Issue of Genes entitled “Genomic Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2” is receiving manuscripts exploring the epidemiological aspects of SARS-CoV-2 diversity and its impacts throughout the pandemic.

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.
