Journal of DNA and RNA Research

A peer-reviewed, open-access journal for research on the structure, function, regulation and applications of nucleic acids, including genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics and genome editing.

Aims and Scope

Nucleic acid biology, across all domains of life

JDRR publishes research on how DNA and RNA are built, copied, read, regulated and repaired, and on the methods and applications that depend on them. The research areas below are illustrative, not a closed list.

  1. DNA structure, replication and repair

    Chromatin architecture, DNA topology, replication forks, telomeres, DNA damage and repair pathways.

  2. Transcription and RNA processing

    Transcriptional regulation, RNA polymerases, splicing, polyadenylation and RNA modifications.

  3. Translation

    Ribosome structure and function, mRNA and ribosome interactions and co-translational folding.

  4. Epigenetics and chromatin

    DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and epigenetic inheritance.

  5. Genome stability and disease

    Mutation mechanisms, repair deficiencies, cancer genomics and chromosomal aberrations.

  6. Non-coding RNAs

    MicroRNAs, long non-coding and circular RNAs, RNA interference and post-transcriptional control.

  7. RNA structure and catalysis

    RNA folding, ribozymes, RNA and protein interactions and aptamers.

  8. Genome and transcriptome technologies

    Sequencing, single-cell genomics, RNA-seq methods and computational analysis.

  9. Genome editing

    CRISPR and Cas mechanisms, base and prime editing, delivery and off-target analysis.

  10. Applied nucleic acid technologies

    Molecular diagnostics, mRNA therapeutics, gene therapy vectors and synthetic biology.

Original research, reviews and shorter reports are considered, in the nine article types listed on the Aims and Scope page.
