Cells | Highly Cited Papers Published in 2024 in the “Cell Methods” Section


In order to be published in the “Cell Methods” Section of Cells (ISSN: 2073-4409), we seek papers that develop new robust, reproducible methods that can advance scientific progress. We also welcome papers that present a new tool or set of reagents that will be of significant utility and interest to the community. Areas of interest include innovations in sequencing, bioimaging/opto-genetic technologies, genome editing, single-molecule approaches, computational methods, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.

Our readers can enjoy free and unlimited access to the full texts of all of the open access articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2024, which can be viewed below:
