Genome Biology serves the biological research community as an international forum for the dissemination, discussion and critical review of information about all areas of biology informed by genomic research. Key objectives are to provide a guide to the rapidly developing resources and technology in genomics and its impact on biological research, to publish large datasets and extensive results that are not readily accommodated in traditional journals, and to help establish new standards and nomenclature for post-genomic biology.
Genome Biology publishes research articles, new methods and software tools, in addition to reviews and opinions, from the full spectrum of biology, including molecular, cellular, organism or population biology studied from a genomic perspective, as well as sequence analysis, bioinformatics, proteomics, comparative biology and evolution.
All research, method and software articles in Genome Biology are published under BioMed Central’s Open Access Charter: they are freely available online and archived in full in PubMed Central, and all users may download, store, or redistribute them in their original form as long as the original citation and bibliographic details remain with each article. BioMed Central is committed to maintaining open access for all research articles that it publishes, both retrospectively and prospectively, in all eventualities.
