Molecular Biology Reports (MOLE) is a peer-reviewed general molecular biology journal which publishes sound science, original research papers, and review articles in all areas of molecular and cellular biology, including results of both fundamental and translational research, as well as new techniques that advance experimental progress in the field.

MOLE publishes papers that unravel molecular and cellular pathways in both eukaryote (animals, plants, algae, fungi) and prokaryote (bacteria and archaea) in vitro and in vivo research. We welcome studies that provide new mechanistic insights into cellular pathways, their relevant protein networks and DNA and RNA mediated consequences.

For a manuscript to be considered in Molecular Biology Reports, it needs to incorporate some molecular or cell biology techniques in its methodology. Please note that the journal does not publish purely bioinformatic / in silico papers or studies that report only histological studies.

MOLE will consider manuscripts on topics including but not limited to:

All aspects of molecular and cellular biology;

All aspects relating to structures and functions of the cell (eukaryotic and prokaryotic) and its components (DNA, RNA, protein);

Cytoskeleton and cell membrane interactions;

DNA replication;

Energy of a cell;

Epigenetic modifications;

Genome regulation;

Intracellular transport;

Metabolism;

Nucleic acid-protein interaction;

Protein biosynthesis;

RNA processing;

Transcription;

Transport of cellular products between different organelles;
