Virus Genes

期刊简介：Viruses are convenient models for the elucidation of life processes. The study of viruses is again on the cutting edge of biological sciences: systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, using the newest most powerful tools.Huge amounts of new details on virus interactions with the cell, other pathogens and the hosts – animal (including human), insect, fungal, plant, bacterial, and archaeal - and their role in infection and disease are forthcoming in perplexing details requiring analysis and comments.Virus Genes is dedicated to the publication of studies on the structure and function of viruses and their genes, the molecular and systems interactions with the host and all applications derived thereof, providing a forum for the analysis of data and discussion of its implications, and the development of new hypotheses.

【译文】病毒是阐明生命过程的便利模型。病毒研究再次处于生物科学的尖端：系统生物学、基因组学、蛋白质组学、宏基因组学，使用最新、最强大的工具。关于病毒与细胞、其他病原体和宿主（包括人类、昆虫、真菌、植物、细菌和古菌）的相互作用以及它们在感染和疾病中的作用的新细节大量涌现，这些细节错综复杂，需要分析和评论。《病毒基因》致力于发表关于病毒及其基因的结构和功能、与宿主的分子和系统相互作用以及由此产生的一切应用的研究，为数据分析及其影响的讨论提供一个论坛，以及新假说的开发。
