Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting manuscript submission for a Special Issue on “The Role of Genomics in Bioengineering”.
Biological engineering, or bioengineering, is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create tangible, useful, and economically viable products. Genomics is the study of whole genomes of organisms and incorporates elements from genetics. Genomics uses a combination of recombinant DNA, high-performance DNA-sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the structure and function of entire genomes. It differs from “classical genetics” in that it considers an organism’s full complement of hereditary material rather than one gene or one gene product at a time.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share the latest advancements in genomics and their application in bioengineering. It will cover the following key areas:
- Role of genomics in the identification and prediction of an organism’s properties;
- Role of genomics in drug development;
- Application of high-throughput sequencing for the study of organisms with new properties;
- Genome engineering technologies;
- Genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9;
- Techniques and applications in genome design, advances, and challenges;
- Application of metagenomic approaches for studying microorganisms important for the food and drug industry;
- Novel genome assembly methods;
- Large-scale analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data to predict the impact of genetic manipulations on model organisms.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
