Bioinformatic Approaches in Cancer

Dear Colleagues, 

You are invited to contribute to a Special Issue of Genes that will focus on a Multi-omics Approach in Cancer. The advent of high-throughput technologies has enabled the development of methods for genome-wide characterization and detection of global transcript levels. Recently, bioinformatics tools have been developed and applied to the integration of the massive amount of data across multiple omics layers. Each type of omics data provides high-dimensional and meaningful information on the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease. An integrative approach provides a basis for the development of targeted cancer therapies.

In this Special Issue of Genes, we welcome reviews, new methods, and original research articles that apply different layers of multi-omics data (i.e., genome, transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, metabolome) for cancer research.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
