Emerging Topics in Plant Bioinformatics and Omics Data Analysis
This special issue belongs to the section “Plant Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid accumulation of omics data in plants, including genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and metabolomes, requires intensive applications of bioinformatics and the development of a computational algorithm. This Special Issue is dedicated to plant bioinformatics with a focus on omics data analysis and data integration, including genome annotation and evolutionary analysis, the comparative genome-wide analysis of transcriptomes and proteomes, such as alternative splicing, protein subcellular location prediction and curation, etc. Papers in all areas of the applications and development of bioinformatics tools and databases resources are considered.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of the following article types: methods, tools and database, original research, and reviews.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Plants 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 2700 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.
