Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology is a journal that covers most topical theoretical and applied problems of molecular genetics of pro- and eukaryotic organisms, molecular microbiology and molecular virology. An important part the journal assigns to investigations of the genetic apparatus of microorganisms, searching for forms of genetic exchange, genetic mapping of pathogenic causative agents, to ascertainment of the structure and functions of extrachromosomal factors of heredity and migratory genetic elements, to theoretical studies into the mechanisms of genetic regulation. The journal publishes results of research on molecular and genetic bases of an eukaryotic cell, functioning of chromosomes and chromatin, nature of genetic changes in malignization and a set of hereditary diseases. On the pages of the journal there is covered the formulation of molecular bases of virology including issues of integration of viral and cellular genomes, and issues of persistence. The journal plans to put materials on genetic engineering, envisaging synthesis and isolation of genes from natural reservoirs, creation of plasmid- and virus-based vector, production of recombinant DNA molecules, the creation of Gene Banks for Microbes, animals, and human; and also on biotechnological production of hormones, components of antiviral vaccines, diagnostic and therapeutic preparations.

《分子遺傳學、微生物學和病毒學》是一本涵蓋了真核生物分子遺傳學、分子微生物學和分子病毒學的大部分理論和應用熱點問題的期刊。《華爾街日報》的一個重要組成部分分配調查微生物的遺傳裝置,尋找形式的基因交換,遺傳致病病原體的映射,以確定結構和功能的染色體外遺傳因素和遷徙的遺傳因素,理論研究為基因調控的機制。該雜志發表了關于真核細胞的分子和遺傳基礎、染色體和染色質功能、惡性腫瘤的遺傳變化性質和一系列遺傳疾病的研究結果。在該雜志的頁面上，有包括病毒和細胞基因組整合問題和持久性問題在內的病毒學分子基礎的制定。該雜志計劃將材料用于基因工程，設想從自然水庫中合成和分離基因，創建質粒和病毒載體，生產重組DNA分子，為微生物、動物和人類創建基因庫;以及生物技術生產的激素，抗病毒疫苗的成分，診斷和治療制劑。
