Microbial Genomics

E-ISSN: 2057-5858

The Microbiology Society's founding journal, Microbiology, is now fully Open Access (OA). Find out more about the transformation here.

Microbial Genomics pioneers all areas of genome research spanning the breadth of microbial life including viruses, bacteria, archaea and microbial eukaryotes. We welcome articles showing novel insights, new applications, or innovative approaches using genomic data. Content ranges from comparative and functional genomics of model organisms to population-scale evolution, epidemiology and microbiome studies, and real-world genomics applications with clinical, veterinary or environmental relevance.
