This journal publishes peer reviewed original scientific papers, reviews, short communications, and technique papers in the fields of life sciences. Main interests areas are biotechnology, molecular biology and biochemistry. Reviews will be written by invitation, however, unsolicited reviews will also be considered for publication if prospective authors first contact the Executive Editor to check the suitability of their proposed subject matter.


2. Manuscript preparation

General. Papers should be in English. Manuscripts must be typewritten preferably using word processor package of Microsoft Word, double-spaced with one centimeter margins on all side of white paper.
