Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advancements in genomics and computational technologies are revolutionizing our understanding of biological systems, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic development. This Special Issue, “Advances in Developing Genomics and Computational Approaches”, seeks to highlight innovative research at the intersection of genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology. We invite submissions that address the challenges and opportunities in harnessing cutting-edge computational tools to decode complex biological data, enhance genomic biomedical prediction models and health outcomes, and translate findings into clinical and industrial applications.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel algorithms for the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data;
- Machine learning/AI applications in genomics and precision medicine;
- Integrative analyses of multi-omics data and systems biology;
- Cloud computing and scalable architectures for genomic workflows;
- The ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomic technologies;
- Single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics methodologies;
- Network biology and modeling of genetic interactions;
- CRISPR-based genomic engineering and computational design tools.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that combine computational innovation and biological discovery. Submissions emphasizing reproducibility, open-source tools, and translational impact are particularly encouraged.
Join us in advancing the frontiers of genomics and computational science to address pressing challenges in healthcare, agriculture, and biotechnology.

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. Genes 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 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.
