BMC Genomics 2012, 13:109Evolutionary analysis of D. albomicans genome
Analysis of the genome of Drosophila albomicans, shows the extremely young neo-sex chromosomes already have an accumulation of excess deleterious mutations and the B chromosomes have an origin in sex chromosome-autosome fusion.

BMC Genomics 2012, 13:52Fruitfly genes in zero-g
Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies raised in a zero-gravity environment created by a superconducting magnet show substantial changes in the expression of many essential genes, suggesting that extended weightlessness during space flight could also potentially have negative effects on cellular processes.

Scope
BMC Genomics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of genome-scale analysis, functional genomics, and proteomics.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
