Genome Biology and Evolution

英文简介

Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE) publishes leading original research at the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. Papers considered for publication report novel evolutionary findings that concern natural genome diversity, population genomics, the structure, function, organisation and expression of genomes, comparative genomics, proteomics, and environmental genomic interactions. Major evolutionary insights from the fields of computational biology, structural biology, developmental biology, and cell biology are also considered, as are theoretical advances in the field of genome evolution. GBE’s scope embraces genome-wide evolutionary investigations at all taxonomic levels and for all forms of life — within populations or across domains. Its aims are to further the understanding of genomes in their evolutionary context and further the understanding of evolution from a genome-wide perspective.GBE is owned by the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE). Motivated by the continued growth of the field, SMBE conducted a grass-roots survey in 2007 to investigate the needs of the field regarding new publication outlets. The survey elicited a resounding response from members of SMBE and other scientists in the fields of genomics and molecular evolution. The key findings from that survey were that the field wanted an online only journal that was devoted specifically to the areas of genome evolution and comparative genomics and that was published under an Open Access model. The response of SMBE was to launch GBE in order to serve those needs of the field. The SMBE meeting attracts about 800 participants each year. As a reflection of the rapid growth of genomic technologies, about half of the science presented at each SMBE meeting is about genomics. With the help of the evolutionary expertise that is gathered in SMBE, GBE is positioned and designed to set the highest standards for papers in the growing field of evolutionary genomics.

中文简介

基因组生物学和进化(GBE)发表领先的原始研究在进化生物学和基因组之间的接口。考虑发表的论文报告了新的进化发现，涉及自然基因组多样性、群体基因组学、基因组的结构、功能、组织和表达、比较基因组学、蛋白质组学和环境基因组相互作用。从计算生物学、结构生物学、发育生物学和细胞生物学领域的主要进化见解，以及基因组进化领域的理论进展也被考虑在内。GBE的范围包括在所有分类水平上的全基因组的进化研究，以及在种群内或跨域内的所有生命形式。其目的是进一步了解基因组的进化背景，并进一步从基因组的角度理解进化。GBE为分子生物学和进化学会(SMBE)所有。受该领域持续增长的推动，测绘处于2007年进行了一项基层调查，以调查该领域对新出版机构的需求。这项调查引起了SMBE成员以及基因组学和分子进化领域其他科学家的强烈反应。那次调查的主要发现是，该领域想要一本专门研究基因组进化和比较基因组领域的在线杂志，并且是在开放获取模式下出版的。SMBE的反应是推出GBE，以满足该领域的这些需求。SMBE会议每年吸引约800名与会者。作为基因组技术快速发展的反映，在每次SMBE会议上，大约有一半的科学是关于基因组的。在SMBE收集的进化专业知识的帮助下，GBE的定位和设计旨在为不断增长的进化基因组学领域的论文设定最高标准。
