As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
Announcement: COVID-19 impact on peer review
Featured series: WABI 2019
Please take some time to read our journal’s new thematic series, selections from WABI 2019. This collection was guest edited by Katharina Huber and Dan Gusfield, and features the latest algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology.
Featured series: RECOMB-CG
We are proud to present the extended proceedings of the 16th annual RECOMB Comparative Genomics Satellite Conference (RECOMB-CG), guest edited by Prof Mathieu Blanchette and Prof Aïda Ouangraoua. The series brings together top researchers in the mathematical, computational, and life sciences to discuss cutting edge research in comparative genomics, with an emphasis on computational approaches and the analysis of novel experimental results. Read this collection here, where articles will be added as they are published.

Aims and scope
Algorithms for Molecular Biology publishes articles on novel algorithms for biological sequence and structure analysis, phylogeny reconstruction, and combinatorial algorithms and machine learning.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to: algorithms for RNA and protein structure analysis, gene prediction and genome analysis, comparative sequence analysis and alignment, phylogeny, gene expression, machine learning, and combinatorial algorithms.
Where appropriate, manuscripts should describe applications to real-world data. However, pure algorithm papers are also welcome if future applications to biological data are to be expected, or if they address complexity or approximation issues of novel computational problems in molecular biology. Articles about novel software tools will be considered for publication if they contain some algorithmically interesting aspects.
