BioEssays is a review-and-discussion journal publishing novel insights, forward-looking reviews and commentaries in contemporary biology with a molecular, genetic, cellular, or physiological dimension. A further aim is to emphasise transdisciplinarity and integrative biology in the context of organismal studies, systems approaches, through to ecosystems where appropriate. The journal has two main sections: Reviews and Features. The Reviews section contains mini-reviews highlighting very recent research articles, and longer papers that present a field, its developments and prospects for a broad readership. The Features include novel hypotheses, discussions of difficult issues in biology, presentations of molecular or cellular model systems, specific advances in genomics, first-hand accounts of discoveries of importance, or subjects in applied biological science, particularly medicine. Articles under the What's New rubric present new methods and techniques. Commentaries, meeting reports and book reviews complete the coverage provided by BioEssays. The journal's insightful analysis makes it essential reading for professional researchers, as well as an invaluable tool for classroom instruction.
