Cell Chemical Biology
Cell Chemical Biology (originally Chemistry & Biology) is a Cell Press journal that aims to publish and promote the most important advances in chemical biology with integrity, responsiveness, fairness, and friendliness. Chemical biology is a multidisciplinary discipline that harnesses chemical principles to discover the molecular mechanisms of biological function and disease etiology and develop solutions for life sciences, biotechnology, and human health.Cell Chemical Biology encourages submission of basic, translational, and clinical research articles that provide significant conceptual advancements of broad general interest to researchers within the biological sciences, the biomedical sciences, and associated fields. Research areas that we consider within our scope include but are not limited to cancer biology, immunology, cell biology, microbiology, virology, RNA biology, synthetic biology, protein engineering, genome editing, drug discovery, metabolism, and physiology.We are interested in papers that report molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes or disease biology, those that report new therapeutics derived from utilizing chemical biology tools, and those that report technologies that perturb, visualize, or measure biological processes. Examples of chemical or molecular tools include but are not confined to nucleic acids and/or their modifications, small molecules, antibodies, biologics, probes, engineered proteins, metabolites, lipids, sugars, and post-translational modifications.We also welcome submissions reporting significant technical advancements in molecular probes, sensors, tools, and technologies, including a proof-of-principle demonstration that the new methodology/tool will help address important questions in biomedical research that are of interest to our broad readership (from basic scientists to clinicians).For further clarifications or questions about our aims and scope, please feel welcome to contact us at [email protected] or email editors directly. You can also submit your manuscript as a presubmission inquiry.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Cell Chemical Biology - http://www.cell.com/...- ISSN: 2451-9456

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution is dedicated to bringing Darwin's dream within grasp - to "have fairly true genealogical trees of each great kingdom of Nature." The journal provides a forum for molecular studies that advance our understanding of phylogeny and evolution, further the development of phylogenetically more accurate taxonomic classifications, and ultimately bring a unified classification for all the ramifying lines of life.The journal encourages articles that are multidisciplinary, especially in areas, such as bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, and organismic biology, that are of interest to the community of systematic and evolutionary biologists. In addition, presentations of new findings on or insights into evolutionary processes and mechanisms as expressed at the molecular level are welcome, as are those that deal with the methodology of reconstructing evolutionary history from molecular data (such as descriptions of new or more powerful computer algorithms for constructing phylogenetic trees from orthologous nucleotide or aminoacid sequences). A deeper understanding of the mechanisms and processes of molecular evolution should lead to more accurate models of molecular evolution, which in turn should facilitate the development of better algorithms for reconstructing evolutionary history from sequence data.Papers based on few taxa and single molecular markers (for example, including only mitochondrial or chloroplast genes or genomes) will not be considered for publication. Papers based on a few molecular markers obtained by legacy PCR-Sanger or other methods, although acceptable in principle, will receive low priority or will be considered only in exceptional cases. Well into the genomics-era, MPE aspires to publish phylogenies based on genome-wide datasets obtained by next-gen approaches. Multi-locus datasets which attempt to provide signal from across the genome are a minimum requirement.- ISSN: 1055-7903
Trends in Genetics
Trends in Genetics was launched in 1985 and quickly became a must read journal for geneticists, known for its concise, accessible articles on a range of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This tradition continues today, and TiG remains a favorite in the community for its distinctive content. As the field has changed, though, so too has the scope of the journal, which now encompasses new areas, such as genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, while continuing to cover traditional subjects like transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology. The core aim of the journal, however, is still to provide researchers and students with high-quality, novel reviews, commentaries, and discussions and, above all, to foster an appreciation for the advances being made on all fronts of genetic research.Each issue of TiG contains concise, lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions as well as a variety of shorter articles, such as Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Reviews are invited from leading researchers in a specific field and objectively chronicle recent and important developments. Opinon articles provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles discuss aspects of genetics at the intersection of science and policy as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles are peer-reviewed.TiG welcomes correspondence. The decision to publish rests with the Editor, and the author(s) of any article discussed in a Letter will normally be invited to reply. Letters may address topics raised in recent issues of the journal, or other matters of general interest to geneticists.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Trends in Genetics - http://www.cell.com/...- ISSN: 0168-9525
