Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue titled “Emerging Trends in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology”. This issue will showcase cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies that are shaping the future of bioinformatics and computational biology, with a strong emphasis on molecular-level biological applications.
We welcome high-quality original research papers, reviews, and perspective articles that explore current challenges and breakthroughs in the computational analysis of molecular data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel algorithms and computational methods for molecular data analysis;
- Advances in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics;
- Multi-omics data integration and systems-level insights;
- Computational modeling of molecular mechanisms and regulatory network inference;
- Applications of machine learning, deep learning, and AI in bioinformatics;
- Missing value imputation and change-point detection;
- Big data approaches for molecular biology research;
- Novel methods for molecular diagnostics, precision medicine, and therapeutics;
- Data visualization and mining techniques for high-dimensional molecular data.
This Special Issue aims to bring together contributions from worldwide researchers in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology. Submissions should provide new insights, introduce transformative methods, or present impactful applications that deepen our understanding of molecular biology through computational innovation.
Notably, we also want to thank the journal’s Topical Advisory Panel Member, Dr. Tong Si, for her contribution and support to the Special Issue operation, promotion and development of this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Haijun Gong
Guest Editor
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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
