Microbial Genomics

E-ISSN: 2057-5858

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.

As part of our continuing commitment to Open Access, from January 2023 the Society's founding journal Microbiology will be moving to a fully open access publication model. Read more about it, and our wider OA journey, in this news story.
