Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “15th Anniversary of Genes: Feature Papers in the “Molecular Genetics and Genomics” Section”, will gather high-quality research articles, reviews, and communications on advances in research in molecular genetics and genomics. This Special Issue will celebrate the 15th anniversary of Genes and the 10th anniversary of the journal receiving its first impact factor. As our aim for this Special Issue is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in the field of molecular genetics and genomics, we encourage Editorial Board Members for the “Molecular Genetics and Genomics” Section to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field or to invite relevant senior experts and colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue. We aim to showcase our Section as an attractive open access publishing platform for molecular genetics research.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Chromatin remodeling and dynamics;
- Epigenetics, DNA methylation, histone modification, and histone codes;
- DNA replication, repair, and recombination, mobile DNA, and mitochondrial DNA;
- RNA biology;
- Cell signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, cell death, and stem cells;
- The post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression;
- Developmental genetics;
- The molecular basis of diseases.

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.
