Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution publishes molecular studies that advance understanding of phylogeny and evolution, improve phylogenetically accurate taxonomic classifications, and support a unified classification of life. The journal emphasizes multidisciplinary work in bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, and organismic biology, and welcomes studies on evolutionary processes, molecular evolution, and methods for reconstructing evolutionary history from molecular data.
