EDITORIAL
We are coming to the end of 2018, which has seen mSystems become a recognized and prestigious venue for microbial systems biology studies. That would not have been possible had it not been for the scientists who have dedicated their time to supporting the fair and unbiased review of the science presented in mSystems. We are indebted to the many people who have contributed to article reviews over the last 3 years. What you all have sacrificed in time has been repaid in furthering the pursuit of knowledge in a format that is freely accessible to the whole world.
