Insect Molecular Biology

期刊简介：Insect Molecular Biology has been dedicated to providing researchers with the opportunity to publish high quality original research on topics broadly related to insect molecular biology since 1992. IMB is particularly interested in publishing research in insect genomics/genes and proteomics/proteins.This includes research related to:• insect gene structure• control of gene expression• localisation and function/activity of proteins• interactions of proteins and ligands/substrates• effect of mutations on gene/protein function• evolution of insect genes/genomes, especially where principles relevant to insects in general are established• molecular population genetics where data are used to identify genes (or regions of genomes) involved in specific adaptations• gene mapping using molecular tools• molecular interactions of insects with microorganisms including Wolbachia, symbionts and viruses or other pathogens transmitted by insectsPapers can include large data sets e.g.from micro-array or proteomic experiments or analyses of genome sequences done in silico (subject to the data being placed in the context of hypothesis testing).

【译文】自1992年以来，《昆虫分子生物学》致力于为研究人员提供发表与昆虫分子生物学广泛相关的高质量原创研究的机会。IMB特别关注发表关于昆虫基因组/基因和蛋白质组/蛋白质的研究。这包括与以下相关的研究：• 昆虫基因结构• 基因表达的调控• 蛋白质的定位和功能/活性• 蛋白质与配体/底物的相互作用• 突变对基因/蛋白质功能的影响• 昆虫基因/基因组的进化，特别是在建立与昆虫普遍相关的原理方面• 使用分子工具进行基因定位• 昆虫与微生物（包括沃尔巴克氏体、共生体和病毒或其他由昆虫传播的病原体）的分子相互作用。论文可以包括大型数据集，例如来自微阵列或蛋白质组实验或计算机模拟的基因组序列分析（前提是数据必须置于假设检验的背景下）。
