This Special Issue of BMC Medical Genetics presents the papers materials discussed at the biomedical session of the multi-conference “Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\Systems Biology” (BGRS\SB-2018) (http://conf.bionet.nsc.ru/bgrssb2018/en/). This international biannual conference takes place in Novosibirsk since 1998 gathering professionals in genomics, genetics, and biomedicine. To accompany this Special Issue, other Special Issues in the fields of genomics, bioinformatics, plant biology, evolutionary biology and systems biology are published as a part of following series: BMC Medical Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Systems Biology, BMC Evolutionary Biology and BMC Plant Biology [1, 2, 3, 4], as well as BMC Genomics and BMC Genetics issues. Medical genetics problems have been discussed in the articles from previous post-conference journal issues [5, 6, 7, 8]. In year 2017, respective conference highlights were organized into the Special Issues with reports from Belyaev Readings-2017 memorial event (http://conf.bionet.nsc.ru/belyaev100/en) [9, 10, 11, 12]. Note medical genetics topics from the conference series were presented earlier at BMC Medical Genomics [1, 12] and BMC Neuroscience [9] as well as BMC Genetics [8, 11] special issues.
