OBM Genetics

(ISSN 2577-5790)

OBM Genetics is an international Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. It accepts papers addressing basic and medical aspects of genetics and epigenetics and also ethical, legal and social issues. Coverage includes clinical, developmental, diagnostic, evolutionary, genomic, mitochondrial, molecular, oncological, population and reproductive aspects. It publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). There is no restriction on the length of the papers and we encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible.

About This Topic

This special issue basically covers the cutting-edge bioinformatics, Physicochemical informatics, biostatistics, and advanced graph embedding techniques used in precision health and healthcare therapeutic areas. In depth, it focuses on differential expression technologies (for gene dysregulated gene discovery), cancer classification model, signature discovery, gene regulatory network mining and hub gene discovery, aging clock model, cognitive learning, digital healthcare, molecular graph mining and quantitative structure-property relationship discovery (graph-theoretic descriptors and cheminformatics features), potential drug discovery, molecular docking, etc. We invite comprehensive reviews and original research for any computational and/or wet lab validation studies for the aforementioned topics are welcome in this special issue.

Keywords

Gene signature discovery; drug discovery; epigenetics; molecular graph mining; aging clock model; physicochemical informatics; digital healthcare; cognitive learning

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.
