Microbial Genomics

Overview

Editor-in-Chief:

Professor Kathryn Holt, Monash University, Australia and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK

Published by the Microbiology Society, Microbial Genomics is a Gold Open Access, peer-reviewed journal publishing cutting edge, pioneering research into genomic approaches to microbiology, fully supported by Open Data and innovative, collaborative services. We cover topics including, but not limited to:

• Microbial evolution (including viruses)
• Population genomics and phylogeography
• Outbreaks and epidemiological investigations
• Ecosystems, community and niche interactions
• Host pathogen, host commensal, host microbiota interactions
• The microbiome
• Responses to human interventions (e.g. clinical, agricultural)
• Metagenomic and whole transcriptome studies
• Functional genomics
• New models and computational methods
• Sequencing tools, algorithms and protocols

We welcome articles showing novel insights, exciting new applications, or innovative approaches to analysis using genomic data, as well as articles developing our understanding of microbial genomics, from large, long-term studies on microbial evolution and epidemiology to studies that have immediate clinical or environmental relevance.
