分子生物學和進化在分子(包括基因組學)和進化生物學的界面上發表研究。我們考慮的手稿包含模式，過程和預測在所有層次的人口，分類，功能和表型組織。除了具有更廣泛的范圍和影響的基礎發現，我們還對發表新的和改進的方法、資源、技術和理論很感興趣，這些方法、資源、技術和理論將極大地促進進化研究。我們還發表了對基因組進化的最新進展的平衡評論，并展望了在分子進化領域或應用的未來方向。

Molecular Biology and Evolution publishes research at the interface of molecular (including genomics) and evolutionary biology. We consider manuscripts containing patterns, processes, and predictions at all levels of population, taxonomic, functional, and phenotypic organizations. In addition to fundamental discoveries of broader scope and impact, we are interested in publishing new and improved methods, resources, technologies, and theories that will significantly advance evolutionary research. We also publish balanced reviews of recent developments in genome evolution and forward-looking perspectives suggesting future directions in a field or application of molecular evolution.
