Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second edition of the Special Issue "Gene Expression and Chromatin Biology". The success of the first edition has motivated us to this new opening to capture still more interesting contributions to the field of chromatin biology and eukaryotic gene regulation.
This Special Issue on “Gene Expression and Chromatin Biology 2.0” will include recent experimental papers as well as timely review articles centered around the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. The dynamic regulation of gene expression is a fundamental process of the cell, which impacts on its adaptation and survival upon environmental changes and on the execution of developmental programs. This field of investigation has experienced many technical advances in recent years, including the precise mapping of the interactions between transcriptionally engaged proteins with chromatin, determination of the dynamic nature of histone modifications and nucleosome movements, and the visualization of the transcriptional process in real-time and at the single cell- and single transcript-level, among others. Thus, we are getting closer to truly understanding the dynamic interplay of transcription factors, histone marks, basal transcription machinery, co-activator and co-repressor complexes, mRNA modification/export complexes, and how these components coordinate timely and fine-tuned responses of gene expression upon intrinsic and extrinsic cellular stimuli. We look forward to receiving your experimental papers, focused reviews within this fascinating research topic.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
