Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is a highly prevalent disease worldwide. Current developments in molecular biology have brought new insights into the nature of this disease, and it is clear that breast cancer is not a unique illness but probably a myriad of entities with distinct biological and clinical behaviors. Such diversity impairs therapeutic strategies, and treating breast cancer patients remains challenging. Computational biology is a powerful field that integrates computer science, mathematics, and statistics to solve complex problems, such as molecular and genomic information from high-throughput technologies. The use of such tools enables a better characterization of breast cancer diversity and has demonstrated that this approach is a successful strategy in the development of more accurately targeted therapies, optimizing cancer treatment, and reducing undesired side effects. Original research, systematic reviews, and new protocols or methodologies of analysis using computational strategies to analyze molecular and genomic data from breast cancer samples—in particular when integrating them with clinical applications—are welcome.

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. 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.
