Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Insects, such as Drosophila, experience changes in gene expression throughout various developmental stages. In addition to these programmed gene regulations, genes are differentially expressed to adapt and survive in response to various environmental conditions. These processes of gene regulation are closely linked with epigenetic mechanisms. This Special Issue will report recent discoveries and review central subject areas in the field of insect epigenetics, focusing on gene regulation mediated by DNA modifications, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNAs in insects, as well as methods for epigenetic analysis.

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. Insects is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
