Calls for papers

With this cross-journal Collection, we invite submissions of articles that use modern approaches to advance the understanding in species redistributions under global climate change.

This collection welcomes submissions based on studying preclinical models, as well as population-wide and clinical studies. Studies that advance our understanding of mechanisms behind healthy aging are also welcomed. Clinical research of interest will include epidemiological studies, observational studies, longitudinal cohort studies, systematic reviews and clinical trials.

This collection welcomes submissions investigating mechanisms of TAD formation and maintenance, chromatin looping and gene regulation, impact of 3D genome on transcriptional landscapes and high-throughput methods for studying genome organisation.

In this joint collection between Communications Biology, Nature Communications, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, and Scientific Reports, we invite submissions containing new methods for the prediction of structure of macromolecules such as proteins, peptides and RNA.

In this cross-journal Collection, we invite research into the complex signalling pathways of innate immunity, emphasising the activation and regulation of pattern recognition receptors in response to microbial and endogenous triggers.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that highlight innovative methods for visualising and detecting RNA molecules and modifications in vivo, and studies that use these tools to uncover RNA-based regulatory mechanisms.

This collection welcomes research in, but not limited to carbon assimilation, biomanufacturing, waste management, and bioenergy. We are also interested in computational methodology development related to all of the above fields.

This Orphan Crop Genomics and Improvement Collection welcomes submissions on orphan crops genomics, genetics, and breeding.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications and Communications Biology invite manuscripts that investigate genetic associations that are specific to certain contexts.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications and Communications Biology invite manuscripts that showcase the development and application of AI-driven approaches leveraging big data to advance our understanding of RNA biology.
