Special Issue on “Biomedical Big Data in Blood”
The journal Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics (GPB) is now inviting submissions for a special issue (to be published in the Summer of 2023) on the topic of “Biomedical Big Data in Blood”.
It took 15 years, 3 billion USD, and thousands of top scientists from all over the world to complete the Human Genome Project (HGP). With the advances of genome-wide sequencing technologies and bioinformatics approaches, a large number of datasets of normal and malignant hematopoiesis have been generated and made public to researchers around the world. Collection and integration of these datasets greatly facilitate basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders.
To achieve these goals, it is no longer sufficient to merely use traditional approaches focusing on a single molecule or single blood cell. Existing high-throughput technologies such as multiple-omics sequencing have been increasingly applied to this field, and novel technologies especially those for mapping blood cell atlas have been developed and refined. We are witnessing the revolution of blood science driven by big data technologies.
To highlight the recent cutting-edge studies and progress in this area, we are pleased to announce a special issue on “Biomedical Big Data in Blood” in GPB, which will publish a set of research articles and review papers focusing on the use of biomedical big data to study hematology and blood diseases. Dr. Qianfei Wang and Dr. Xiangdong Fang from Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation are Guest Editors of this issue.
The topics may include (but not be limited to):
Ø Development of novel technologies to promote blood research, especially at single-cell level
Ø Development of disease-specific imaging probes for early diagnosis of blood disorders
Ø Application of stem cell technologies to studies of blood function and dysfunction at multi-omics level
Ø Application of technologies in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics to blood science
Ø Development of algorithm, workflow or webserver for big data analysis in blood science
Ø Integration of big data from multiple sources to understand blood function and dysfunction.
Ø Discovery of biomarkers in peripheral blood for blood disorders as well as other complicated diseases
Reviews, original studies, databases, webservers, methods, application notes, protocols, etc. are all welcome. The portfolio will be open for incoming manuscripts till March 31, 2023.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/gpb/. Please indicate that the submission is for this special issue in the cover letter and choose the special issue name as article type at manuscript submission. The detailed Guide for Authors is available on this website as well, with manuscript template and EndNote Output style template provided.
