Abstract: Since 2013, Molecular Biology and Evolution has celebrated papers with powerful impact on our community as reflected by accumulated citations. Below, we highlight ten discoveries, five methods, and five resource publications as “Emerging Classics” based on citations accrued per fractional years since publication. Articles within categories are listed in alphabetical order based on the family name of the first author. Total citation counts were obtained from Web of Science on November 30, 2021. We congratulate these authors on the significance of their contributions and look forward to publishing many high-impact articles in the years to come.
