真菌遗传学和生物学，以前被称为实验真菌学，发表关于真菌及其传统盟友的实验研究，它们的结构和功能与生长、繁殖、形态发生和分化有关。本杂志特别欢迎在细胞、亚细胞和分子水平上研究基因组织和表达以及发育过程。该杂志还包括适当的实验研究真菌细胞学，生物化学，生理学，遗传学和系统发育。真菌遗传学和生物学出版由真菌学家、细胞生物学家、生物化学家、遗传学家和分子生物学家进行的基础研究。
Fungal Genetics and Biology, formerly known as Experimental Mycology, publishes experimental investigations of fungi and their traditional allies that relate structure and function to growth, reproduction, morphogenesis, and differentiation. This journal especially welcomes studies of gene organization and expression and of developmental processes at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. The journal also includes suitable experimental inquiries into fungal cytology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, and phylogeny.Fungal Genetics and Biology publishes basic research conducted by mycologists, cell biologists, biochemists, geneticists, and molecular biologists.
