Journal of Molecular Evolution focuses on deciphering features of molecular evolution and the processes related to these features.

  • Publishes subfields such as new genome sequences, comparative genomics, population genetics, and the evolution of gene regulation and gene interaction networks.
  • Presents experimental, computational, and theoretical work.
  • Examines comparative structural and functional genomics, among other topics.
  • Covers the evolution of informational macromolecules and their relation to complex levels of biological organization.
  • Explores molecular basis for the evolution of ecological interactions of species and the use of molecular data to infer fundamental processes in evolutionary ecology.


This is a hybrid journal, you may have access to funding for Open Access publication. 
You can also still publish your work for free under the traditional model.
