About DNA and RNA Research

A premier international, peer-reviewed, open access platform dedicated to advancing molecular biology through the dissemination of transformative research on nucleic acid structure, function, regulation, and application.

Decoding Life's Blueprint: Our Mission

The Journal of DNA and RNA Research (JDRR) (ISSN 2575-7881) serves as a vital hub for molecular biologists, geneticists, and computational researchers worldwide who are unraveling the complexities of nucleic acids. We publish rigorous, innovative scholarship that elucidates the structural, functional, and regulatory roles of DNA and RNA across all domains of life.

DNA stores the hereditary information that defines living organisms, while RNA executes and modulates this genetic program through transcription, translation, and regulatory networks. JDRR recognizes the versatility of RNA and the stability of DNA as complementary molecular systems that together orchestrate cellular life. Our journal bridges fundamental discovery with translational applications in medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, and computational biology.

As an open access journal operating under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license, JDRR ensures that groundbreaking nucleic acid research reaches global audiences without subscription barriers. We are committed to rapid peer review, ethical publishing practices, and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations that accelerate progress in genomics, transcriptomics, and molecular medicine.
