Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinformatics has become a cornerstone of modern biomedical research, transforming how we understand, diagnose, and treat human diseases. With the advent and explosive growth of high-throughput technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and spatial omics, researchers now have unprecedented access to multidimensional data that capture the complexity of biological systems. More than generating these data, the challenge lies in analysing and integrating them with other data to yield meaningful biological insights. Furthermore, the use of machine learning models and Artificial Intelligence has completely changed the way bioinformaticians investigate human disease, providing powerful tools for biomarker discovery, disease classification, and prediction of therapeutic response. This Special Issue aims to bring together research that highlights the diversity of computational approaches used to investigate disease biology. The contributions span multiple areas of application, from single-technology data analysis to the integration of different technologies, to the use of machine learning to gain biological insights to accelerate biomarker discovery, support personalized medicine, and promote reproducible, data-driven biological research.

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.
