DNA Repair

DNA Repair (DNAREP) is a journal focusing on DNA repair and cellular responses to DNA damage. DNA Repair publishes articles on genetic, cellular, biochemical, structural, and molecular aspects of DNA repair. The journal welcomes articles describing databases supporting research on DNA repair and responses to DNA damage. The journal will be especially supportive of articles describing novel methods, protocols, and new technologies. Further, the journal is happy to receive articles that report negative results of significance, with mechanisms that may not be fully verified, provided the actual conclusions are justified. The editors are also willing to fast-track papers to avoid their being scooped. Letters to the Editor, hot topics, and classics on DNA repair; historical reflections; book reviews; and meeting reports will also be considered for publication. We are a journal for the DNA repair community and so are happy to report aspects of interest to the community, including obituaries of renowned figures in the field.

The journal publishes topics directly pertaining to DNA damage and repair, which include

• Apoptosis

• Biological responses to genomic insult

• Cell cycle regulation

• Cell fate decisions

• Epigenetics and chromatin

• Genomics/bioinformatics

• Human diseases: aging, cancer, and neurological dysfunction

• Immune responses

• Mutagenesis and signature mutations

• Structural biology and computational modeling
