Message from the Guest Editors
Bioinformatics, and in broader terms, computer science,
has provided a significant speedup in many fields of life
sciences thanks to its intrinsic capability of gleaning
insights from almost any kind of structured, semi-
structured, and unstructured data. As wet-lab technologies
evolve, new challenges arise for the bioinformatics
community. These include processing and analyzing NGS
and single-cell data, drug discovery and repurposing,
multi-omics data management and querying, and genomic
data integration with clinical information (paving the way
for personalized medicine). Consequently, bioinformatics
outputs are becoming increasingly crucial for biologists,
physicians, and biomedical researchers. So far, every
significant advance in genomics has been paired with the
development of groundbreaking statistical and
computational approaches. We expect this trend to
continue in the coming years. In this Special Issue, we
welcome contributions in terms of original research
articles, reviews, and opinions, concerning a large
spectrum of present and future challenges for
bioinformatics.
