Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psychiatric disorders are complex and multifactorial conditions that arise from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Recent advances in genetics and genomics have provided insights into the genetic basis of these disorders. Therefore, understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms, such as transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, signalling pathways, and high-dimensional chromatin structures, is crucial in identifying new therapeutic targets. Moreover, mechanistic insights into how these regulatory processes influence gene expression can provide new avenues for developing targeted therapies for psychiatric disorders. This field is rapidly evolving, and a better understanding of the regulation and mechanisms of genomics in psychiatry has the potential to revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of these debilitating conditions. Here, we invite researchers from all spectra and disciplines to contribute their discoveries in advancing our understanding of the regulation and mechanisms of genomics in psychiatry. We sincerely look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Siwei Zhang

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
