Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), gene distribution, and variation and change in populations.

A transcriptomic analysis of endometriosis and comparison tissues has been conducted, revealing a rich and complex catalogue of single-cell-based expression data. This resource is an invaluable building block towards single cell profiling at scale, aiding research into endometriosis pathogenesis and new ways of diagnosing and treating the disease.
Optimal design of spatial transcriptomic experiments allows statistical evaluation of the impact of various biological and technological features on the discovery of cell phenotypes.

Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Feature Papers in Molecular Genetics and Genomics”, aims to collect high-quality research articles, review articles, and communications on advances in the research area of molecular genetics and genomics. Since the aim of this topical collection is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in the field of molecular genetics and genomics, we encourage Editorial Board Members of the “Molecular Genetics and Genomics” Section to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field, or to invite relevant senior experts and colleagues to make contributions to this Special Issue. We aim to represent our Section as an attractive open-access publishing platform for molecular genetics research.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Chromatin remodeling and dynamics;
- Epigenetics, DNA methylation, histone modification, histone code;
- DNA replication, repair, recombination, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA;
- RNA biology;
- Cell signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, cell death, stem cells;
- Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression;
- Developmental genetics;
- Molecular basis of diseases.
Dr. Paolo Cinelli Guest Editor
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.

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 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.
