Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current diagnosis of infectious diseases largely depends on conventional phenotypic tools. However, typically, phenotypic tools are heavily based on culture and susceptible to bias due to handling during testing. Specifically, the phenotypic result represents the final phenomenon of protein expression in vitro. The details of genomics and proteomics cannot be seen in conventional phenotypic assays. What we can currently see is just the tip of the iceberg of infectious diseases. Thus, I would like to invite outstanding researchers in this field to contribute studies to this Special Issue. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, genomic or proteomic studies focused on broadening our view on infectious diseases. I believe that these will form a fundamental basis for, and have a considerable impact on, further precise measurements of infectious diseases.
