Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine omics is an interdisciplinary field of research that integrates omics technologies with marine biology and related disciplines, such as seafood science, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular biology and biochemical processes that occur in marine environments. The power of methodologies such as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and systems biology has revolutionized our understanding of marine biological systems.
Marine omics has significant implications for various fields, including marine ecology, biotechnology and seafood science. By gaining a deeper understanding of omics technologies, researchers can explore their potential application in bioprospecting for novel compounds in order to discover new pharmaceutics, such as antibiotics and anticancer agents. Marine omics are able to elucidate how marine organisms are responding to climate change and ocean acidification. Thus, papers addressing omics aspects of growth, pathology and the seafood integrity of marine organisms are also welcome in this Special Issue. In addition, the current success of omics methodologies makes them favorable strategies for seafood quality and safety studies, in which research institutions, industries and regulatory laboratories should collaborate in order to acquire knowledge and guarantee seafood quality and safety for consumers.
In this Special Issue, we invite experts, as well as beginners in the field of marine omics, to contribute their ideas for accelerating the implementation of omics procedures in marine science.

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.
