Insect Genome and Transcriptome Data

Dear Colleagues，

This Special Issue (SI) considers manuscripts related to insect genome data (including related methods, such as metagenome or RADseq data) and transcriptome data through next-generation sequencing (NGS) for publication. To ensure data availability, raw sequence data must be registered in the international nucleotide sequence databases, namely, NCBI, DDBJ, and ENA, and submitted Supplementary Information data must be assigned a DOI using a data repository (e.g., figshare).

This SI also considers manuscripts of metadata analysis. As mentioned above, an enormous amount of insect genome and transcriptome data are in public databases. Thus, novel approaches using these data can provide new knowledge contributing to molecular biology and evolutionary biology.

It is our hope that this SI will contribute to the progress of entomology.

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.
