Genome Biology
http://genomebiology.com/

"Genome Biology serves the biological research community as an international forum, both in print and on the web, for the dissemination, discussion and critical review of information about all areas of biology informed by genomic research. Key objectives are to provide a guide to the rapidly developing resources and technology in genomics and its impact on biological research, to publish large datasets and extensive results that are not readily accommodated in traditional journals, and to help establish new standards and nomenclature for post-genomic biology."

Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology
http://www.jmmb.net/

"The Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology (JMMB) publishes high-quality primary research papers in all areas of molecular microbiology and molecular biotechnology. It also features written symposia on unified topics, timely reviews, minireviews, and a section devoted to correspondence and comments. JMMB provides a medium for the amalgamation of the disciplines of molecular microbiology and biotechnology in the genomics era."

Journal of Memetics - Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission
http://jom-emit.cfpm.org/

"The Journal of memetics is a peer-reviewed academic journal. The editors feel that a journal on memetics can be an important place for scientists and professionals to discuss their views and research in memetics. The journal of memetics seeks to develop the memetic perspective, with space devoted to relevant evolutionary issues and other related topics."

Molecular Biology Today
http://www.molbio.net/

"Molecular Biology Today (MBT) is the new online journal of Molecular Biology and a major Information Resource Center for Molecular Biologists. MBT publishes primary research papers, short communications, and review articles on all aspects of molecular biology, including plant and animal systems, human genetics, molecular microbiology, virology, and biotechnology. In addition MBT publishes laboratory protocols of general interest to molecular biologists." Free access to full-text of articles is available.

Molecular Vision
http://www.molvis.org/molvis/

"Molecular Vision is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the dissemination of research results in molecular biology, cell biology, and the genetics of the visual system (ocular and cortical)." Indexed in several major abstracting services, such as Medline, BIOSIS, and Chemical Abstracts, Molecular Vision's web page provides full-text access to all articles published since the journal's inception in 1995. This site also has links to relevant web sites.

Nature Genetics
http://www.nature.com/ng/index.html

"Nature Genetics - international journal for genetic research with a particular emphasis on human and mammalian genetics. Nature Genetics is an international monthly journal publishing the highest quality original research in genetics, with heavy but not excluseive emphasis on human and mammalian genetics and the human Genome Project. The journal was founded in April 1992 as a sister journal to Nature, in recognition of the rapidly expanding importance to the scientific community and the general public in modern genetics research. Nature Genetics publishes about 20 original research articles each month, in addition to News & Views, reviews, editorial and correspondence columns. Our aim is to publish findings of exceptional significance, originality and relevance not just to geneticists but to the scientific community at large. In less than three years, Nature Genetics has received an 'impact factor' of 28.5, placing the journal second on the list of most frequently cited research journals.

Physiological Genomics
http://physiolgenomics.physiology.org/

"Physiological Genomics represents a bold new venture to publish the results of a wide variety of studies from human and from informative model systems with techniques linking genes and pathways to physiology, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. The Journal encourages the submission of research that links genes to cell replication, development, metabolic function, cell signal transduction and intracellular signaling pathways, tissue and organ function, and whole organism function. Physiological Genomics encourages the utilization of approaches ranging from expression profiling, assays for molecular interactions, natural and directed gene alteration, selective breeding studies, gene identification, and the assessment of gene/environment interaction. The Journal welcomes important new technologies and concepts that enhance the study of physiological genomics. The Journal encourages publication of new computational approaches, integrative models, and image analysis predictive of gene function. Physiological Genomics features invited reviews and perspectives that contribute to enhancing the understanding of the scientific approaches and concepts which link genetics and physiology. The Journal is committed to rapid peer review to ensure the publication of high-quality papers and timely news and review articles." Access to the full-text of this journal will be free until June 30, 2000; after that time, tables of contents, abstracts, and full-text searching will remain free.
