Transcription

Aims & Scope

Transcription, a peer-reviewed, bi-monthly journal, publishes high-quality articles that provide novel insights, provocative questions, and new hypotheses into the expanding field of gene transcription.

The journal covers all aspects of transcription from biochemical and molecular approaches to cellular, structural, and evolutionary views.

In addition to papers that use conventional strategies to study both prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription, the journal welcomes manuscripts dealing with genome-wide analyses, single molecule and biophysical studies, protein structure, imaging and systems biology.
