Genome Biology aims to provide the best possible service to authors and readers of primary research articles. The refereed research section publishes peer-reviewed research in all areas of molecular, cellular, organismal and population biology that are informed by genomics. All research articles are made available free to individuals through the web, and there are no restrictions on article length or on the types of information that can be included. The publication schedule is very fast, using electronic systems for article delivery, proofing and peer-review. For more details about how refereed research is published in Genome Biology and for instructions for authors, see 'about refereed research'.
