Over the past decade, experimental and computational approaches for deep molecular and cellular profiling have become readily available and widely used for profiling the immune system both in human and in model organisms. These techniques include genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, antibody-omic and cellular phenotypic datasets. The broad focus of this systems immunology collection is on technologies that can be used to generate and interrogate combinations of these datasets in a principled fashion to uncover phenotypes and mechanisms underlying immunological states and disorders, and predictive dynamical models that can connect such high-throughput data to phenotypic/cell-state aspects. We are interested in manuscripts describing both computational and high-throughput experimental techniques including novel devices that can be used to generate and/or analyze these multi-omic datasets. A major emphasis of the collection will also be advances in single-cell technologies (e.g., scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq) either on the computational and/or experimental fronts. Manuscripts do not necessarily need to include both aspects; studies describing either novel computational approaches for the analyses of multi-omic datasets or creative experimental techniques for generating one or more of these datasets are welcome. However, manuscripts simply describing computational methods without demonstrating their applications on real-world datasets will not be considered a good fit for this collection.
