Artificial Intelligence Applications in Genetics and Genomics

Dear Colleagues,

This open access Special Issue on “Artificial Intelligence Applications in Genetics and Genomics” enables us to celebrate the computer science advancements that have greatly accelerated our gaining insights into genomic function.

We welcome reviews, original articles, and short communications covering the development or application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for genetic or genomic data analysis. In particular, we are seeking showcases where traditional approaches fell short either in gaining insights or processing the data and subsequently new ML or AI approaches had to be developed. Data analysis domains may include omics data analysis (genomics, transcriptomics, methylomics), ML/AI-based clinical or agricultural association studies for diseases or traits, genome engineering or synthetic biology applications, as well as biological feature prediction or sample classification approaches.

This Special Issue showcases trailblazing software and innovative analytics to inspire the increased use of ML and AI in genetics and genomics. We look forward to your contributions and are happy to offer support around topic clarification or enabling reproducible research practices (e.g., through cloud usage).

Dr. Denis Bauer
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-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.
