Molecular Genetics and Genomics

Molecular Genetics and Genomics (Mol Genet Genomics, ISSN 1617-4615) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research across the broad and dynamic fields of molecular genetics, functional genomics, and evolutionary biology. The journal’s scope encompasses fundamental and applied studies on the structure, function, and regulation of genes and genomes, with a particular emphasis on molecular mechanisms underlying development, disease, and adaptation in a wide range of model and non-model organisms. It welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, brief communications, and methodological advances that offer significant insights into genetic and genomic processes. The target audience includes molecular biologists, geneticists, genomicists, bioinformaticians, and evolutionary biologists working in academia, industry, and clinical research settings. Published by Springer, the journal offers both traditional subscription and open access options, allowing authors to choose the dissemination model that best suits their needs. With a 2026 Impact Factor of 2.2000, the journal is positioned in the JCR Q4 quartile and is classified as a 3区 biology journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranking. While its impact factor places it in the lower quartile, Molecular Genetics and Genomics remains a respected venue for specialized, methodologically sound research that contributes to the foundational understanding of genetic and genomic principles, serving as a reliable resource for the global genetics community.
