Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Before human genome sequencing, the study of genetics had always gone hand in hand with applied mathematics and statistics. The foundational studies that birthed the field of genetics were the work of Mendel, who applied the mathematical counting method. After this and to this date, the study of genetics has always involved the application of mathematics and statistics, especially in the field of animal and plant breeding. In the era of genomics, the study of genetics has transcended beyond mere human computation. The generation of big data in the form of large genomic sequences has prompted the use of sophisticated software, and the computation algorithms behind these stem from mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, machine learning, and more. In this Special Issue, we wish to put together a collection of current mathematical, statistical, and related applications in genetics and genomics.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
