publishing scientific papers of significance in all areas of biological
sciences, including cell biology, developmental biology, structural biology,
microbiology, molecular biology & genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology,
ecology, and bioinformatics.

The Journal aims at rapid publication of high quality research results while
maintaining rigorous peer review process, with the goal to build a leading
international journal in the next few years. The Journal is committed to
open access its online version to maximize the distribution of articles.
Full texts of all articles will be made available in PubMed Central, the US
