Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of bioinformatics and machine learning has revolutionized the way in which we study and predict complex biological processes. As the volume of biological data continues to grow, novel computational approaches are increasingly required to interpret high-dimensional datasets and discover the mechanisms that underlie biological phenomena. From understanding gene regulation and protein interactions to elucidating disease pathways, bioinformatics tools, combined with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, offer unprecedented opportunities to accelerate progress in the life sciences. This Special Issue seeks to explore the intersection of these fields, providing insights into how innovative computational methods can address various challenges associated with biology and medicine.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to share advancements in bioinformatics and machine learning methodologies specifically designed to predict biological processes. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and application-focused studies that utilize computational tools to model, predict, and interpret key biological events, such as gene expression, epigenetic modifications, metabolic pathways, and disease progression. Submissions that incorporate novel algorithms, explainable machine learning models, or integrative multi-omics approaches are particularly welcome. By highlighting innovative research, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive innovation at the forefront of bioinformatics and machine learning.

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.
