Gene

Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses.
Gene strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication.
Gene encourages submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Gene also welcomes papers that have predominantly a descriptive component but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies, or provide important confirmation of recently published discoveries.
Methods papers will be considered only if they are of general importance with considerable original and useful information. Minor improvements to existing methods are not acceptable.
