  • fluorescent embryos

    Methods for modeling development is our Method of the Year 2023, for the remarkable insights that recent methodological advances have enabled in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of human embryogenesis.

  • colorful fluorescent zebrafish embryos

    Ideas from computer vision have transformed the way image analysis is performed, with ripple effects across microscopy and biological discovery. This Focus issue brings together expert opinions on exciting directions for bioimage analysis over the next 5-20 years.

  • a plant and a keyboard

    We are looking to expand our journal scope to include more ecology papers, particularly those describing methods for quantitative analysis of ecological and evolutionary data. Published papers will be added to this Collection.

    Open for submissions

Nature Methods is a Transformative Journal; authors can publish using the traditional publishing route OR via immediate gold Open Access.

Our Open Access option complies with funder and institutional requirements.

  • Brown seaweeds are multicellular eukaryotes that have been evolving independently of animals and plants for more than a billion years. The filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus has been used as a model to understand the biology of these enigmatic organisms and to shed light on a range of major questions, from the molecular basis of complex developmental patterns to the evolution of sex.
