Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Once neglected, marine organisms have been demonstrated to be a fruitful source of marine-specialized metabolites with unique structures and bioactivities.
Third-generation sequencing techniques and open source FAIR metabolomics databases such as MASSIVE offer vast amounts of highly complementary data. Recent efforts linking metabolomics and genomics data have resulted in the paired-omics database that has started various multiomics research projects.
Additionally, analytical NMR and MS methods for the classification of whole metabolomes, as well as the structure elucidation of prioritized specialized metabolites, have been revolutionized by the implementation of machine learning techniques.
This Special Issue invites articles from both multiomics- and machine learning-driven studies on marine organisms, with a focus on marine-specialized metabolites discovery and metabolome classification. High-quality metabolomics-based studies are also welcome.

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. Marine Drugs 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 2900 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.
