Microbial community function and biomarker discovery in the human microbiome

Abstract

Genome Biology is a leading open access journal in biology and biomedicine research, with 9.4 Impact Factor and 14 days to first decision. As the highest-ranked open access journal in its field, Genome Biology publishes outstanding research that advances the fields of biology and biomedicine from a genomic and post-genomic perspective. Our team of highly trained in-house Editors works with our Editorial Board of leading international experts to ensure that the journal is at the cutting edge of both scientific advances and community standards. The Editors engage regularly with researchers at conferences and institute visits. Flexible formatting at first submission, transparent peer review, scoop protection (including preprints), transfers and portable peer review, and global article promotion are just a few of the ways we support our authors and the larger genomics community. Genome Biology is also an affiliate journal of the EMBO preprint peer review platform Review Commons.
