Journal of Transgenics

Pioneering Molecular Innovations
in Transgenic Science

Advancing genome editing and transgenic technology through rigorous molecular biology research - from gene transfer mechanisms to regulatory networks shaping the future of genetic engineering.

The Journal of Transgenics (JTR) is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing the molecular mechanisms underlying transgenic technologies and genome editing. Backed by Open Access Pub, JTR provides a platform for researchers investigating gene transfer systems, regulatory elements, protein engineering, and cellular responses to genetic modification.

Our editorial board comprises internationally recognized molecular biologists, geneticists, and biotechnology specialists who guide authors through rigorous peer review while maintaining rapid publication timelines. JTR publishes original research, systematic reviews, methodological innovations, and short communications that illuminate the molecular foundations of transgenic organisms and genome editing platforms.

With readership spanning academic institutions, biotechnology companies, and research consortia across 75+ countries, JTR connects fundamental discoveries in gene expression regulation, protein structure-function relationships, and cellular pathway modulation with practical applications in agricultural biotechnology, biopharmaceutical production, and synthetic biology.
