Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in NGS technologies and other disciplines such as proteomics and metabolomics have led to the rise of molecular-based information. Computational algorithms for the efficient storage, management, and analysis of biological data have become crucial to plant sciences. The availability of many plant genome sequences and the understanding of their structure and functioning have enabled the development of methods to accelerate their modification. Plant genomics provides researchers with the main tools to pursue this goal. The use of basic scientific information to benefit an innovative process concerns the translation of science into technology. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advances in this topic through original research and scientific opinion articles. The Special Issue is dedicated to authors who have devoted their research to different aspects of applied genomics and biotechnology, illustrating their potential links. Multidisciplinary approaches capable of describing the path of discoveries are welcome. Researchers are invited to contribute to this Special Issue with original research results and review and perspective articles.
Dr. Maria R. Ercolano

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.
