Aims and scope

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources is an open access journal publishing mitogenome reports, plastome reports, methods, reviews, and rapid communications.

Mitochondrial DNA Part B is the open access sister journal to Mitochondrial DNA Part A.

Mitochondrial DNA Part B serves the scientific community by publishing the growing number of organelle genomes sequenced by researchers.

The journal considers rapid communications on the following topics:

  • Physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism, and/or interactions
  • Population genetics, phylogenetics and human evolution that use mitochondrial DNA as a source of evidence for studies
  • Human mitochondrial disorders and the utility of mitochondrial DNA information in medical studies
  • Unique methodological or algorithmic approaches to the analysis of mtDNA data sets
  • Communication papers describing new methods, software tools and databases

The journal accepts mitogenome reports, plastome reports, methods, reviews and rapid communications. Mitochondrial DNA Part B operates a single anonymized peer review policy.

All articles are made freely and permanently available online through  gold open access publication.
