    National DNA Day on April 25th commemorates the publication of the structure of DNA in 1953 and subsequent achievements in molecular biology and genetics research. This year, the Communications Biology editors have curated a collection of articles to highlight advances in animal genetics and genomics, highlighting studies that provide insight on vertebrate animal evolution or diversity.

    Communications Biology published its first articles on January 22, 2018! To celebrate our 5-year anniversary we present a special collection of articles picked by the editors, our editorial board members and the press team, respectively. We have also interviewed some of our very first authors about their experience of the journal. Further, we link to a video where a few of our Section Lead board members talk about Communications Biology.
