Journal Guide

Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.

Aims and Scopes

Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.

Genes to Cells provides an international forum for the publication of papers describing important aspects of molecular and cellular biology. The journal aims to present papers that provide conceptual advance in the relevant field. Particular emphasis will be placed on work aimed at understanding the basic mechanisms underlying biological events.

Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer will offer rapid publication of original full-length research articles , perspectives , reviews , letters to the editors , as well as editorial commentaries on genetic analysis as related to the study of neoplasia. Particular emphasis will be placed on work combining molecular and cytogenetic analyses of the genomic alterations of cancer cells. While preference will be given to research using analytical approaches, descriptive studies and case reports will also be welcomed, particularly when they offer insights regarding basic biologic mechanisms or the clinical management of neoplastic disorders. Specific areas covered will include:

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high-quality foundational research, particularly research that generates datasets such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome-wide association and QTL studies, as well as mutant screens and advances in methods and technology. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of these data is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.

Genetic Epidemiology is a peer-reviewed journal for discussion of research on the genetic causes of the distribution of human traits in families and populations. Emphasis is placed on the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to human disease as revealed by genetic, epidemiological, and biologic investigations. Incorporation of underlying biology and population genetics into conceptual models is favored. The Journal seeks original articles comprising either applied research or innovative statistical, computational, or genomic methodologies that advance studies in genetic epidemiology. Other types of reports are encouraged, such as letters to the editor, topic reviews, and perspectives from other fields of research that will likely enrich the field of genetic epidemiology.

Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers is the leading peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of genetic testing including molecular biomarkers. This journal is a forum for the development of new technology; the application of testing to decision making in an increasingly varied set of clinical situations; ethical, legal, social, and economic aspects of genetic testing; and issues concerning effective genetic counseling.With more than 3,000 genes identified, and over 4,000 diseases caused by genetic defects, genetic testing has become an increasingly important part of medical practice. For many inherited diseases, genetic testing provides the definitive diagnosis. GTMB is the definitive resource for molecular geneticists, genetic counselors, researchers, clinicians, and scientists who develop, perform, and interpret genetic tests and their results.

Genetica publishes papers dealing with genetics, population dynamics and evolution, including population structure, genome evolution, speciation, behavior, conservation, whatever the taxon considered. Genetica mainly publishes research papers but reviews, short communications and brief reports are also welcome.

Genetics Research is a key forum for original research on all aspects of genetics. Building on the success and history of its previous incarnation, Genetical Research, the journal has a publishing remit that provides comprehensive coverage of subjects vital to the field, including: evolutionary and population genetics, genetics of complex traits, quantitative and statistical genetics, bioinformatics, genomics, molecular and developmental genetics, Evo-Devo, conservation genetics and environmental genetics. On the empirical side, papers reporting studies that have broad implications using a range of organisms, from well-established genetic model organisms (Drosophila, C. elegans, mice, Arabidopsis, zebrafish, Xenopus) and agricultural species (rice, maize, wheat, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens) to humans are encouraged. The breadth and quality of papers, reviews and book reviews make the journal invaluable to professional geneticists, molecular biologists, plant and animal breeders, and biologists involved in evolutionary, developmental and conservational studies.

This peer-reviewed journal offers an unprecedented forum for the presentation of innovative, practice-focused papers in contemporary genetics medicine, including such areas as clinical genetics, biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, public health genetics, genetic epidemiology, common disease genetics, genetic counseling, genetic education, and legal issues. The only journal devoted to the clinical applications of genetics, Genetics in Medicine is a must-read for all physicians and providers wishing to apply new genetic findings to their practice.
