Aims and Scope

Thegoalsof Genomics,Proteomics&Bioinformatics(GPB)are to disseminatenew frontiers of its focused research fields,to publish high-quality discoveries in a fast-pace,and to promote open access and prompt online publication for efficient publishing.

GPB publishes high-quality papers from the frontier research in the fields of genomics,proteomics,and bioinformatics.For manuscripts submitted to GPB,direct rejection,direct acceptance or further review will be decided within 48 hours(fast track).In addition,GPB offers Article-in-Press,by which all the accepted manuscriptscan be availableonline ahead of its printed issue for fast dissemination.GPB's featured research areas include:

· Genomics:large-scale data acquisition,integrated studies and technology developments,concerning genome structures,variations,repeat contents and evolution.

· Other‘omics’fields:epigenomics(DNA modifications,nucleosome positioning,histone modifications,chromosome conformation and 3-D structures,etc.),ribogenomics(transcriptomics,long-non-coding RNA,antisense transcriptomics,miRNAs,other small RNAs,etc.).

· Proteomics:protein structures,proteomics technology developments,protein expression profiling,protein complexes in terms of structure,function,properties and interactions,metabolomics,homeostasis of macromolecules.

· Bioinformatics:genome assembling,annotation,and integrated analysis;large data curation and mining;sequence-based other matrix-based phylogeny,database construction,web-based platforms and tools,novel algorithms,tool boxes and softwarepackages.GPB's publications:

· Original research articles presenting novel data and ideas.

· Papers describing innovative protocols,methods,application notes,databases,and webservers,as well as database review and resource providing primary scientific information to a broad readership.

· Comprehensive reviews as full articles,mini-reviews related to authors'own research,lifetimeachievement reviews of authors'own research,aswell as resourcereviews on tools,software or databases,etc.

· Research highlights,previews,opinions,perspectives,and essays about new discoveries,scientific policies,and research proposals,as well as historical notes for important historical events in the field.

· Other article types including meeting report and editorial.
