Molecular Biology and Evolution provides yearly recognition of recently published manuscripts that have made strong impressions on our research community since their publication. Below, we highlight ten discoveries, five methods, and five resources as “Emerging Classics” based on citations accrued per fractional year since print publication. Articles are listed alphabetically by the first author’s family name. Total citation counts were obtained from Web of Science on November 6, 2020. We congratulate these authors on the significance of their contributions and look forward to seeing new classics emerge in the years to come.
