Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
System biology covers the concepts and methodologies used in system-level analysis of biomedical systems, and it is involved in computational, statistical and mathematical methods to reveal biological mechanisms. Network is an important tool to describe the mechanism of interactions or regulations between biological molecules in symmetry research of bioinformatics, system biology and computational biology. Network-based methods are powerful tools to model the biological processes; as such, they are beneficial for studies in systems and computational biology. We can construct and utilize different biological networks, as well as use information from different omics data that represent different molecular layers. In this Special Issue, we explore new network-based methods in computational science, information science, statistics and mathematics to solve the issue of systems biology for Symmetry. Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
