Chromosome Research publishes manuscripts from work based on all organisms and encourages submissions in the following areas including, but not limited, to: · Chromosomes and their linkage to diseases; · Chromosome organization within the nucleus; · Chromatin biology (transcription, non-coding RNA, etc); · Chromosome structure, function and mechanics; · Chromosome and DNA repair; · Epigenetic chromosomal functions (centromeres, telomeres, replication, imprinting, dosage compensation, sex determination, chromosome remodeling); · Architectural/epigenomic organization of the genome; · Functional annotation of the genome; · Functional and comparative genomics in plants and animals; · Karyology studies that help resolve difficult taxonomic problems or that provide clues to fundamental mechanisms of genome and karyotype evolution in plants and animals; · Mitosis and Meiosis; · Cancer cytogenomics.

DNA and Cell Biology delivers authoritative, peer-reviewed research on all aspects of molecular and cellular biology, with a unique focus on combining mechanistic and clinical studies to drive the field forward. DNA and Cell Biology coverage includes: Gene Structure, Function, and Regulation Gene regulation Molecular mechanisms of cell activation Mechanisms of transcriptional, translational, or epigenetic control of gene expression Molecular Medicine Molecular pathogenesis Genetic approaches to cancer and autoimmune diseases Translational studies in cell and molecular biology Cellular Organelles Autophagy Apoptosis P bodies Peroxisosomes Protein Biosynthesis and Degradation Regulation of protein synthesis Post-translational modifications Control of degradation Cell-Autonomous Inflammation and Host Cell Response to Infection Responses to cytokines and other physiological mediators Evasive pathways of pathogens.

The Journal of Membrane Biology is dedicated to publishing high-quality science related to membrane biology, biochemistry and biophysics. In particular, we welcome work that uses modern experimental or computational methods including but not limited to those with microscopy, diffraction, NMR, computer simulations, or biochemistry aimed at membrane associated or membrane embedded proteins or model membrane systems. These methods might be applied to study topics like membrane protein structure and function, membrane mediated or controlled signaling mechanisms, cell-cell communication via gap junctions, the behavior of proteins and lipids based on monolayer or bilayer systems, or genetic and regulatory mechanisms controlling membrane function. Research articles, short communications and reviews are all welcome. We also encourage authors to consider publishing 'negative' results where experiments or simulations were well performed, but resulted in unusual or unexpected outcomes without obvious explanations. While we welcome connections to clinical studies, submissions that are primarily clinical in nature or that fail to make connections to the basic science issues of membrane structure, chemistry and function, are not appropriate for the journal. In a similar way, studies that are primarily descriptive and narratives of assays in a clinical or population study are best published in other journals. If you are not certain, it is entirely appropriate to write to us to inquire if your study is a good fit for the journal.

Mammalian Genome focuses on the experimental, theoretical and technical aspects of genetics, genomics, epigenetics and systems biology in mouse, human and other mammalian species, with an emphasis on the relationship between genotype and phenotype, elucidation of biological and disease pathways as well as experimental aspects of interventions, therapeutics, and precision medicine. The journal aims to publish high quality original papers that present novel findings in all areas of mammalian genetic research as well as review articles on areas of topical interest. The journal will also feature commentaries and editorials to inform readers of breakthrough discoveries as well as issues of research standards, policies and ethics.

The Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics welcomes manuscripts on biological structure, dynamics, interactions and expression. The Journal is one of the leading publications in high end computational science, atomic structural biology, bioinformatics, virtual drug design, genomics and biological networks.

The Journal of Food Biochemistry publishes fully peer-reviewed original research and review papers on the effects of handling, storage, and processing on the biochemical aspects of food tissues, systems, and bioactive compounds in the diet. Researchers in food science, food technology, biochemistry, and nutrition, particularly based in academia and industry, will find much of great use and interest in the journal. Coverage includes: -Biochemistry of postharvest/postmortem and processing problems -Enzyme chemistry and technology -Membrane biology and chemistry -Cell biology -Biophysics -Genetic expression -Pharmacological properties of food ingredients with an emphasis on the content of bioactive ingredients in foods Examples of topics covered in recently-published papers on two topics of current wide interest, nutraceuticals/functional foods and postharvest/postmortem, include the following: -Bioactive compounds found in foods, such as chocolate and herbs, as they affect serum cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease -The mechanism of the ripening process in fruit -The biogenesis of flavor precursors in meat -How biochemical changes in farm-raised fish are affecting processing and edible quality
