核酸研究(NAR)發(fā)表前沿研究成果，涉及核酸代謝和/或相互作用的核酸和蛋白質(zhì)的物理、化學(xué)、生化和生物學(xué)方面。它能迅速出版下列類別的論文:化學(xué)和合成生物學(xué);計(jì)算生物學(xué);基因調(diào)控、染色質(zhì)與表觀遺傳學(xué);基因組完整性、修復(fù)和復(fù)制;基因組學(xué);分子生物學(xué);核酸酶;RNA和結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)。調(diào)查和總結(jié)部分提供了簡要回顧的格式。每年的第一期專門討論生物數(shù)據(jù)庫，7月份的一期專門討論描述對生物社區(qū)有價(jià)值的基于web的軟件資源的論文。

Nucleic Acids Research ( NAR ) publishes the results of leading edge research into physical, chemical, biochemical and biological aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and/or interactions. It enables the rapid publication of papers under the following categories: Chemistry and synthetic biology; Computational biology; Gene regulation, chromatin and epigenetics; Genome integrity, repair and replication; Genomics; Molecular biology; Nucleic acid enzymes; RNA and Structural biology. A Survey and Summary section provides a format for brief reviews. The first issue of each year is devoted to biological databases, and an issue in July is devoted to papers describing web-based software resources of value to the biological community.
