Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We spend a lot of time working on computers in microbiology research. We do not perform computer programming but search nucleotide or amino acid sequences similar to our query sequences in an international DNA/protein database, predict RNA or protein structures, construct multiple alignment of nucleotide or amino acid sequences, construct phylogenetic tree based on the multiple alignment, perform gene annotation of the genome sequence that we determined, etc. It is almost impossible to find scientific original papers in microbiology that do not use a computer at all. Computer works are essential in microbiology, and they are not limited in omics analyses (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.). How do you incorporate computer operations and programs into microbiology? In this Special Issue, the editors would like you to submit any papers of developing microbiology by utilizing computer works.

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.
