Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For more than two decades, functional genomics has been attempting to unravel the biological functions hidden in the genomes. Most recently, studies have aimed to develop models to link genotype to phenotype, in the context of disease and treatment. From this perspective, functional genomics covers the areas of gene expression profiling, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics studies as well as chromatin profiling, epigenome editing, DNA–protein and protein–protein interaction networks. Contributions to this Special Issue should be original research or review articles. Single-cell-omics studies are particularly welcome.
Topics will include but are not limited to the following:
- Chromatin profiling;
- CRISPR screens;
- Crop genomics;
- Epigenome editing;
- Epigenomics;
- Interactomes;
- Metagenomics;
- Pharmacogenomics;
- Phenomics.

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. Life 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.
