Current Genetics

Aims & Scope

Current Genetics publishes genetic, genomic, molecular and systems-level analysis of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms and cell organelles.

All articles are peer-reviewed.

The journal welcomes submissions employing any type of research approach, be it analytical (aiming at a better understanding), applied (aiming at practical applications), synthetic or theoretical.

Current Genetics no longer accepts manuscripts describing the genome sequence of mitochondria/chloroplast of a small number of species.

Manuscripts covering sequence comparisons and analyses that include a large number of species will still be considered.
