Publishing: Nature Publishing Group

Nature Methods is a forum for the publication of novel methods and significant improvements to tried-and-tested techniques in the life sciences and related area of chemistry. This monthly publication is aimed at a broad, interdisciplinary audience of academic and industry researchers actively involved in laboratory practice. It provides them with new tools to conduct their research and places a strong emphasis on the immediate practical relevance of the work presented. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: Recombinant DNA and protein technologies Construction and screening of libraries and arrays of nucleic acids, proteins and chemical compounds Microarrays, display techniques, combinatorial chemistry, lab-on-a-chip technologies Isolation, purification and detection of biological molecules Separation techniques, chromatography, chiral separation, labeling, epitope tagging, amplification of nucleic acids, single molecule detection and characterization Methods for analysis of structure and function of biological molecules Molecular structure determination, mass spectrometry, binding assays, sequencing, detection of post-translational modifications, mutagenesis, chemical tagging of biomolecules Electrochemical methods Detection and characterization of redox molecules Techniques of analysis and manipulation of gene expression Gene targeting, transduction, RNA interference Methods for cell culture Imaging and probing technologies Microscopy, optical spectroscopy, histology, labeling, hybridization techniques, probe scanning, chemical tagging of molecules, single cell manipulation Immunological techniques Production of antibodies, antibody-based assays, immunolabeling Bioinformatics and cheminformatics Ligand and small molecule design, management and analysis of data
