Directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favoured over others, shifting the distribution of a trait in a population toward one direction over successive generations and driving adaptive evolutionary change. Genetic Engineering is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing research on genetics, molecular evolution, and the manipulation and analysis of genetic material. Its scope encompasses evolutionary mechanisms and the molecular changes that accompany them, including a critical examination of whether natural selection remains a foundation of the evolutionary process, and an investigation of molecular evolutionary mechanisms in a partially sequenced heat shock protein 70 homologue-coding gene from viral isolates. These contributions reflect the journal's coverage of selection, sequence variation, and adaptation at the genetic level. The journal welcomes original research and reviews on evolutionary genetics, gene structure, and molecular change. Readers interested in natural selection, molecular evolution, adaptation, and population genetics will find peer-reviewed, open-access studies relevant to directional selection.
