Journal Title：Insect Molecular Biology

Insect Molecular Biology has been dedicated to providing researchers with the opportunity to publish high quality original research on topics broadly related to insect molecular biology since 1992. IMB is particularly interested in publishing research in insect genomics/genes and proteomics/proteins.

This includes research related to:

• insect gene structure

• control of gene expression

• localisation and function/activity of proteins

• interactions of proteins and ligands/substrates

• effect of mutations on gene/protein function

• evolution of insect genes/genomes, especially where principles relevant to insects in general are established

• molecular population genetics where data are used to identify genes (or regions of genomes) involved in specific adaptations

• gene mapping using molecular tools

• molecular interactions of insects with microorganisms including Wolbachia, symbionts and viruses or other pathogens transmitted by insects

Papers can include large data sets e.g.from micro-array or proteomic experiments or analyses of genome sequences done in silico (subject to the data being placed in the context of hypothesis testing).

自 1992 年以来，昆虫分子生物学一直致力于为研究人员提供发表与昆虫分子生物学广泛相关主题的高质量原创研究的机会。IMB 对发表昆虫基因组学/基因和蛋白质组学/蛋白质方面的研究特别感兴趣。< /p>

这包括与以下相关的研究：

• 昆虫基因结构

• 基因表达控制

• 蛋白质的定位和功能/活性

• 蛋白质和配体/底物的相互作用

• 突变对基因/蛋白质功能的影响

• 昆虫基因/基因组的进化，尤其是与一般昆虫相关的原则已经确立的情况下

• 分子群体遗传学，其中数据用于识别参与特定适应的基因（或基因组区域）

• 使用分子工具进行基因定位

• 昆虫与包括沃尔巴克氏体、共生体和病毒或昆虫传播的其他病原体在内的微生物的分子相互作用

论文可以包含大型数据集，例如来自微阵列或蛋白质组学实验或在计算机上完成的基因组序列分析（取决于将数据置于假设检验的上下文中）。
