Fungal Genetics and Biology, formerly known as Experimental Mycology, publishes experimental investigations of fungi and their traditional allies that relate structure and function to growth, reproduction, morphogenesis, and differentiation. This journal especially welcomes studies of gene organization and expression and of developmental processes at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. The journal also includes suitable experimental inquiries into fungal cytology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, and phylogeny.
Fungal Genetics and Biology publishes basic research conducted by mycologists, cell biologists, biochemists, geneticists, and molecular biologists.
Research Areas include:
• Biochemistry
• Cytology
• Developmental biology
• Evolutionary biology
• Genetics
• Molecular biology
• Phylogeny
• Physiology
Please note: the Journal does not accept manuscripts based solely on microarrays, or manuscripts based solely on in silico analyses of EST libraries, subtraction hybridization libraries etc. which are not supported by additional functional biology experiments, unless they can demonstrate findings of outstanding novelty and importance.
