Evolutionary Bioinformatics [1] is a peer reviewed open access academic journal focussing on the role of computational biology in the study of evolution. The journal is published by Libertas Academica[2].
Official journal of The Bioinformatics Institute
Evolutionary Bioinformatics was established as the official journal of The Bioinformatics Institute[3]. The Institute is a joint-venture between the University of Auckland, situated in New Zealand’s largest city, and AgResearch, New Zealand’s largest Crown Research Institute. Allen Rodrigo, Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, is the Institute’s Director, and it was at his initiative that the journal was established.
Aims and Scope
Evolutionary Bioinformatics is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on evolutionary bioinformatics. There is growing awareness that to understand organismal form and function, through the use of molecular, genetic, genomic, and proteomic data, due consideration must be given to an organism's evolutionary context - history constrains the path an organism is obliged to take, and leaves an indelible mark on its component parts. Evolutionary Bioinformatics publishes papers on all aspects of computational evolutionary biology, and evolutionary bioinformatics.
Editor in Chief and Editorial Board
The journal's Editor in Chief is Dr Mark Pagel [4] and it has an international Honorary Editorial Board[5].
