About the journal
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) publishes the results of leading-edge research into physical, chemical, biochemical and biological aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and/or interactions. It enables the rapid publication of papers under the following categories:
- Chemistry and Nucleic Acid Chemistry
- Computational biology
- Data Resources and Analyses
- Gene Regulation, Chromatin and Epigenetics
- Genome Integrity, Repair and Replication
- Genomics
- Molecular Biology and Structural Biology
- Nucleic Acid Enzymes
- Nucleic Acid Therapeutics
- RNA and RNA-protein complexes
- Synthetic Biology and Bioengineering
A Critical Reviews and Perspectives section provides a format for brief reviews. NAR Methods provides a forum for the online publication of methods papers.
The first issue of each year is devoted to biological databases, and an issue in July is devoted to papers describing web-based software resources of value to the biological community.
