Aims and scope

This journal has ceased (2018).

Aims & Scope: 
Mobile Genetic Elements reports original research findings related to all aspects of mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer.

The role of mobile DNA in the evolution of organisms, present in every kingdom of life, is the main topic of investigation in Mobile Genetic Elements. MGE is not constrained to a particular field, and is inclusive of many scientific disciplines ranging from microbiology, to animal and plant genetics and physiology, cancer biology, and antimicrobial resistance.

Journal Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Sequence of novel mobile elements
• Biological functions of mobile element encoded proteins
• Recombination / transposition
• Replication
• Mobilization
• Intercellular transfer
• Transcriptional and translational regulation
• Evolution
• Cellular consequences of carriage
• Methods and protocols

Mobile Genetic Elements publishes the following types of papers:
• Reviews & Mini-Reviews (mostly invited)
• Original Research Papers
• Methods & Protocols
• Technical Reports
• Commentaries and Views/Letters to the Editor (invited)
• Meeting Reports
• News & Views

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via EJournal Press.

Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Group, 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
