Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology publishes advances in biology such as the structure of DNA, the genetic code, the discovery of mobile genes, the PCR and RNAi techniques, and the feasibility of a human genome project.  The Symposia focus on a different and timely field of research each year, and the participants are handpicked luminaries and rising stars of that particular field. - publisher’s blurb.

Journal of Marine Research

The Journal of Marine Research publishes peer-reviewed research articles covering a broad array of topics in physical, biological and chemical oceanography. Articles that deal with processes, as well as those that report significant observations, are welcome. In the area of biology, studies involving coupling between ecological and physical processes are preferred over those that report systematics. - publisher’s blurb.

Energy & Environmental Science

Energy and Environmental Science is a new journal linking all aspects of the chemical sciences relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science.

The journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy and environmental science and therefore particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature across both the (bio) chemical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines.

Bioinformatics for Geneticists

This timely book illustrates the value of bioinformatics, not simply as a set of tools but rather as a science increasingly essential to navigate and manage the host of information generated by genomics and the availability of completely sequenced genomes.

Handbook of Neural Engineering

The Handbook of Neural Engineering provides theoretical foundations in computational neural science and engineering and current applications in wearable and implantable neural sensors/probes.

 Neurodegenerative Diseases and Metal Ions

Written by 41 internationally recognized experts, Neurodegenerative Diseases and Metal Ions highlights, supported by 130 illustrations, the recent progress made in understanding the role metal ions play in diseases like transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (Creutzfeldt-Jakob and related diseases), Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Wilson’s and Menkes’ diseases, as well as in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and others.

Nickel and Its Surprising Impact in Nature

In 17 stimulating chapters, written by 47 internationally recognized experts, Nickel and Its Surprising Impact in Nature highlights critically the biogeochemistry of nickel, its role in the environment, in plants and cyanobacteria, as well as for the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, for gene expression and carcinogenensis.

Molecular Biotechnology

Molecular Biotechnology publishes original research papers on the application of molecular biology to both basic and applied research in biotechnology.

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology

This journal is devoted to publishing the highest quality innovative papers in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. The typical focus of the journal is to report applications of novel scientific and technological breakthroughs, as well as technological subjects that are still in the proof-of-concept stage.
