Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rise in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, along with their lowering cost, has led to the production of a huge number of diverse and complex data in biology and medicine that must be efficiently managed. Traditional approaches and classical analysis methods are struggling to provide efficient and time-sensitive solutions. Machine learning and deep learning have become an invaluable tool with which large genomic datasets can be analyzed to decode the complexities of molecular and biological systems. Machine learning is now broadly applied across various genetic fields, including cancer genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics (single-cell, differential expression, etc.), functional genomics, and pharmacogenetics.
Therefore, this Special Issue will serve to promote relevant advances in the application of machine learning and deep learning in genetics. We encourage authors to contribute work exploring any area of machine learning being applied to genetic data (not only limited to the fields listed here). We welcome submissions of original research, review articles, brief reports, or other related forms. We also invite authors who have made relevant contributions to the recent International Work-Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (IWBBIO 2024) to extend their conference publication through the addition of new results and to submit it to this Special Issue.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
