Aims & Scope

GBR publishes research that advances understanding of living systems from molecules and cells to organisms, populations and ecosystems.

Areas of interest

• Molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology
• Cell biology, physiology and developmental biology
• Genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and bioinformatics
• Microbiology, virology, mycology and host-microbe interactions
• Plant science, animal biology and comparative biology
• Ecology, evolution, biodiversity and conservation biology
• Biotechnology, synthetic biology and biological engineering
• Biological methods, imaging, modelling and research resources

A suitable manuscript should present a clear biological question, adequate controls and replication, transparent analysis and a contribution that extends beyond a routine local observation. Clinical trials and manuscripts whose main focus is medical treatment are outside the journal's scope.
