Molecular Genetics and Genomics

Aims & Scope

Molecular Genetics and Genomics (MGG) publishes peer-reviewed articles covering all areas of genetics and genomics.

Any approach to the study of genes and genomes is considered, be it experimental, theoretical or synthetic.

MGG publishes research on all organisms that is of broad interest to those working in the fields of genetics, genomics, biology, medicine and biotechnology.

The journal investigates a broad range of topics, including these from recent issues: mechanisms for extending longevity in a variety of organisms; screening of yeast metal homeostasis genes involved in mitochondrial functions; molecular mapping of cultivar-specific avirulence genes in the rice blast fungus and more.
