Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
With the emergence of the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-engineering platform an unprecedented variety of novel approaches and possibilities in the generation of cellular model systems has been made available, and many new exciting developments are unveiled on a regular basis.
The current Special Issue aims to provide a forum to (i) discuss the latest technical developments in the fields of general genome engineering technologies, (ii) focus on the establishment of cell-based model systems and on the development of animal models by CRISPR/Cas9 (or similar genome engineering tools), and (iii) give an overview about the current state of art of technology development and novel approaches using genome engineering technologies.
Due to the rapid development of the field this Special Issue invariably will not be able to cover all aspects. However, we aim to give a deep technical insight into the most recent evolution, latest trends and refinements in genomic engineering that is available today.
Dr. Philip Hublitz

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. Methods and Protocols is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
