Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue, which aims to present the application of functional genomics with a focus on its potential in healthcare and disease management.
This Special Issue is aimed at publishing papers that are related to early detection and prognosis, emphasizing novel therapeutic targets, and addressing the critical components of drug response. We also aim to highlight studies that explore how functional genomics can identify molecular influencing drug efficacy and resistance, thereby contributing to more effective and tailored therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, we are interested in methodological papers that discuss the development and optimization of new technologies and techniques in functional genomics. We expect to highlight the most recent advancements in functional genomics; we hope to drive forward the development of innovative solutions for disease diagnosis, treatment, or prevention.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Molecular mechanisms of diseases;
- Biomarkers for early detection and prognosis;
- Novel therapeutic targets;
- Drug response and resistance;
- Bioinformatic tools for functional genomics, omics applications, and data integration.

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.
