The Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE) is a scientific and academic organization founded in 1982 to support academic research in the field of molecular evolution. The society hosts an annual meeting, typically in June or July. It also supports satellite meetings throughout the year. The Society's first president was evolutionary biologist Walter M. Fitch.[1] The current President is Stephen Wright.[2]
Publishing
[edit]In 1983, the society began publishing the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution with Oxford University Press.[3] The society began publishing a second journal, Genome Biology and Evolution, in 2009.[4]
