Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly evolving, providing new insights into various fields. Recent advancements have focused on faster, more accurate sequencing, reduced costs, and improved data analysis. NGS enables precise genetic mutation detection, targeted therapies, precision medicine approaches, and enhanced diagnostic methods. Moreover, NGS is revolutionizing fields like single-cell transcriptomics, metagenomics, and forensic DNA analysis, among others.
The scope of this Special Issue includes the following: precision medicine, cancer research, genetic diagnostics, pharmacogenetic markers for personalized treatments, single-cell transcriptomics, metagenomics, forensic DNA analysis, transplant monitoring, cell-free DNA, inflammatory disease studies, epigenomic factors, DNA degradation analysis, ancient DNA, and new allele and variant discovery.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Manuel Muro
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
