Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A virus is an important intracellular parasite that can replicate and spread by regulating the host's gene expression and using substances within the cell. Furthermore, the interactions between the host and the virus play vital roles in inhibiting virus infections or causing pathogenic changes in the host. However, these interactions are complex and form an extensive interactive network. Therefore, the analysis of a single biomolecule or protein is not very useful for studying the pathogenic and infection mechanisms of viruses.
Omics, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and immunomics, offer new perspectives for exploring the pathogenesis of human or animal diseases by analyzing large amounts of data that represent an entire set of some kind, especially an entire set of molecules, such as proteins, lipids, or metabolites, in a cell, organ, or organism. In recent decades, significant progress has been made in elucidating the pathogenicity and infection of viruses through omics research. In this Special Issue, we aim to present the latest data and papers on the application of omics in virus research. Articles that integrate omics analysis with experimental verification are especially well-suited for this Special Issue. We welcome both original research articles and reviews.

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. Microorganisms 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 2700 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.
