Abstract: Molecular Biology and Evolution provides yearly recognition of recently published manuscripts that have made strong impressions on our research community since their publication. In recent years, this list has evolved to focus on recent contributions that have had a proportionally strong impact since publication. Below, we highlight ten discoveries, five methods, and five resources as “Emerging Classics” based on citations accrued per fractional year since print publication. Within categories, articles are listed alphabetically by the first author’s family name. Total citation counts were obtained from Web of Science on November 30, 2022. We congratulate these authors on the significance of their contributions and look forward to celebrating articles that make a difference to our community in the years to come.
