Transcription, a peer-reviewed, bi-monthly journal, publishes high-quality articles that provide novel insights, provocative questions, and new hypotheses into the expanding field of gene transcription. The journal covers all aspects of transcription from biochemical and molecular approaches to cellular, structural, and evolutionary views. In addition to papers that use conventional strategies to study both prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription, the journal welcomes manuscripts dealing with genome-wide analyses, single molecule and biophysical studies, protein structure, imaging and systems biology.
Topics that the journal will cover include, but are not limited to:
- transcriptional initiation, elongation, and termination
- promoter structure and function
- the role of cis-regulatory elements that affect gene function locally and globally
- the structure, function, and regulation of general and specific transcription factors
- RNA polymerases, repressors, and activators
In addition, the following themes are of special interest: the connections of pre-mRNA and other RNAs processing to upstream events in transcription; the involvement of small RNAs in transcriptional gene silencing and genome defense; the interplay between nuclear architecture, genome organization, and gene expression; the integration of transcriptional and translational response mechanisms to external stimuli; and the cross-talk between transcription and chromatin. The use of original approaches that apply powerful new experimental technologies to answer standing questions in the field are especially welcome.
Categories of articles Transcription will publish:
- Reviews from experts in the field
- Original Research Articles
- Commentaries and Editorials on important and timely topics in the area of transcription
- Short Articles that provide a focused contribution on a specific topic of interest without requiring further experimental work for validation
- Methods Articles presenting a new experimental technique that provides a significant advance in the field
- Meeting Reports
- Point of View articles: a subjective piece that can be a mixture of data and opinions regarding the field, or an extended discussion of a recent paper published by the same authors in another journal.
Reviewing process: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-chief and/or the Co-Editor-in-chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via eJournal Press. Authors may submit to the journal online at http://www.editorialmanager.com/transcription
Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
