Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and diffusion of omics technologies have revolutionized the way that we understand biological systems, offering unprecedented insights into several fields, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and beyond. As these different kinds of biological data become increasingly integrated, they will open new horizons for innovation in biotechnology—ranging from precision medicine and synthetic biology to sustainable agriculture and environmental biotech.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in integrative omics approaches and their transformative impact on precision biotechnology. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that explore novel omics-based strategies, computational tools, and multi-omics applications designed to address real-world challenges.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-omics integration platforms and pipelines;
- AI and machine learning in omics data analysis;
- Omics-guided metabolic and genome engineering;
- Applications in precision diagnostics and therapeutics;
- Plant and microbial omics for sustainable biotech;
- Single-cell omics and spatial transcriptomics.;
- Challenges in omics data harmonization and standardization;
- Future perspectives and ethical implications in precision biotech.
We encourage submissions that combine experimental and computational approaches and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
