Journal of Molecular Evolution

期刊简介：Journal of Molecular Evolution covers experimental, computational, and theoretical work aimed at deciphering features of molecular evolution and the processes bearing on these features, from the initial formation of macromolecular systems through their evolution at the molecular level, the co-evolution of their functions in cellular and organismal systems, and their influence on organismal adaptation, speciation, and ecology. Topics addressed include the evolution of informational macromolecules and their relation to more complex levels of biological organization, including populations and taxa, as well as the molecular basis for the evolution of ecological interactions of species and the use of molecular data to infer fundamental processes in evolutionary ecology. This coverage accommodates such subfields as new genome sequences, comparative structural and functional genomics, population genetics, the molecular evolution of development, the evolution of gene regulation and gene interaction networks, and in vitro evolution of DNA and RNA, molecular evolutionary ecology, and the development of methods and theory that enable molecular evolutionary inference, including but not limited to, phylogenetic methods.

【译文】《分子进化杂志》涵盖了旨在解读分子进化特征及其相关过程的研究，从大分子系统的最初形成到分子水平上的进化，以及它们在细胞和有机体系统中的功能协同进化，以及它们对有机体适应性、物种形成和生态的影响。涉及的主题包括信息大分子的进化及其与更复杂的生物组织水平（包括种群和分类群）的关系，以及物种生态相互作用进化的分子基础，以及使用分子数据推断进化生态学基本过程。该覆盖范围包括新基因组序列、比较结构和功能基因组学、群体遗传学、发育的分子进化、基因调控和基因相互作用网络的进化，以及DNA和RNA的体外进化，分子进化生态学，以及开发方法和理论，这些方法和理论能够进行分子进化推断，包括但不限于系统发育方法。
