Current Bioinformatics aims to publish all the latest and outstanding developments in bioinformatics. Each issue contains a series of timely, in-depth/mini-reviews, research papers and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field, covering a wide range of the integration of biology with computer and information science.

The journal focuses on advances in computational molecular biology, encompassing such niche areas as DNA/RNA/protein sequence alignment and prediction, genes and multi-source heterogeneous networks reconstruction, 3D genome, and spatial transcriptomics computation. The problems belong to the molecules, and the techniques are involved in artificial intelligence and algorithms. Developments in these fields directly affect key issues related to molecular biology, medicine, development of agricultural products, environmental protection, etc.

Current Bioinformatics is an essential journal for all academic and industrial researchers who want expert knowledge on all major advances in bioinformatics.

Current Functional Foods is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of functional foods (both conventional and novel foods) and their role in human health and disease prevention. The journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed research on the bioactive properties of food ingredients, their mechanisms of action, and their applications in promoting health and preventing chronic conditions. It serves as a platform for innovative research, reviews, perspectives, and case reports that explore the interactions between diet and health, particularly through the consumption of functional foods. We are committed to providing evidence-based insights on how functional foods can be used in everyday nutrition to support and improve health outcomes across diverse populations.

Key Areas Covered:

1. Bioactive Components in Foods Research on plant-based compounds (e.g., polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids), bioactive proteins, peptides, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, dietary fibers, and prebiotics, and their impact on health.


2. Health Impacts and Mechanisms of Action Studies on how functional foods affect immunomodulation, metabolic health (obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome), cardiovascular health (cholesterol regulation, blood pressure control), neurological health (brain function, cognitive decline), and cancer prevention.


3. Applications in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Research on the role of functional foods in managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and gastrointestinal disorders. Focus on aging, weight management, obesity, and supporting healthy aging.


4. Food Biotechnology and Food Design Exploration of functional foods enriched with bioactive compounds (e.g., vitamins, minerals, probiotics), advancements in food processing to enhance bioavailability, and the role of nanotechnology in improving the delivery and efficacy of bioactive compounds.


5. Personalized Nutrition and Functional Foods Research on the role of genetics, microbiome, and nutrigenomics in tailoring functional foods for individual health needs and their effectiveness in disease prevention and health promotion.


6. Consumer Behavior, Market Trends, and Public Health Studies on consumer perception, acceptance, and barriers to adopting functional foods. Exploration of regulatory issues, safety, quality assurance, and the role of functional foods in addressing global health challenges, including malnutrition and lifestyle-related diseases.


7. Sustainability and Functional Foods Research on sustainable sourcing and production practices for functional food ingredients, with a focus on environmental impact, food security, and the growing trend of plant-based functional foods.

Current Genomics is a peer-reviewed journal that provides essential reading about the latest and most important developments in genome science and related fields of research. Systems biology, systems modeling, machine learning, network inference, bioinformatics, computational biology, epigenetics, single cell genomics, extracellular vesicles, quantitative biology, and synthetic biology for the study of evolution, development, maintenance, aging and that of human health, human diseases, clinical genomics and precision medicine are topics of particular interest. The journal covers plant genomics. The journal will not consider articles dealing with breeding and livestock. Current Genomics publishes three types of articles including: i) Research papers from internationally-recognized experts reporting on new and original data generated at the genome scale level. Position papers dealing with new or challenging methodological approaches, whether experimental or mathematical, are greatly welcome in this section. ii) Authoritative and comprehensive full-length or mini reviews from widely recognized experts, covering the latest developments in genome science and related fields of research such as systems biology, statistics and machine learning, quantitative biology, and precision medicine. Proposals for mini-hot topics (2-3 review papers) and full hot topics (6-8 review papers) guest edited by internationally-recognized experts are welcome in this section. Hot topic proposals should not contain original data and they should contain articles originating from at least 2 different countries. iii) Opinion papers from internationally recognized experts addressing contemporary questions and issues in the field of genome science and systems biology and basic and clinical research practices.
