Molecular Biology and Evolution (MBE) publishes fresh insights into the patterns and processes that impact the evolution of life at molecular levels, across a full breadth of taxonomy, genomic organization, and functions, forms, and phenotypes. MBE's Methods, Resource, and Protocol sections provide our community with cutting edge evolutionary research tools that enable discovery, while our Reviews and Perspectives present syntheses to inspire new directions in evolutionary thought.
MBE is entirely owned by The Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution. The SMBE Council appoints the Editors-in-Chief. The Journal is published by Oxford University Press.
MBE follows a fully Open Access publishing model, with all papers free to access from 1 January 2021. All articles accepted for publication from 1 August 2020 will be published as Open Access and are subject to an Article Processing Charge (APC).
