Journal Guide

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.

Methods for artificial evolution of active components are rapidly developing branches of adaptive computation and adaptive engineering. They entail the development, evaluation and application of methods that mirror the process of neo-Darwinian evolution. Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines reports innovative and significant progress in automatic evolution of software and hardware. It features both theoretical and application papers and covers hardware implementations, artificial life, molecular computing and emergent computation techniques. In addition to its main topics, the journal covers related topics such as evolutionary algorithms with variable-size genomes, alternate methods of program induction, approaches to engineering systems development based on embryology, morphogenesis or other techniques inspired by adaptive natural systems.

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution covers all aspects of plant genetic resources research with original articles in taxonomical, morphological, physiological, biochemical, genetic, cytological or ethnobotanical research on genetic resources and includes contributions to gene bank management: collecting, maintenance, evaluation, storage and documentation.Areas of interest include crop evolution, domestication, crop-weed relationships, agrobiodiversity related wild species and the history of cultivated plants including palaeoethnobotany. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution also presents short communications on such topics as newly described crop taxa, nomenclatural notes, reports of collecting missions, and evaluation results of gene bank material, as well as book reviews of important publications in the field of genetic resources. All contributions are in English and are subject to peer review.The journal is the international continuation of the German periodical Die Kulturpflanze.

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. We are also interested in thematic issues, please contact the Editor-in-Chiefs with your suggestions.Details Concerning the Submission and Publication Procedures:
- No Page Charges
- No Fees for Online Color Images
- Optional Color Images in Print – Euro 950,-
- Optional Open Access Publication Fee (APC) – USD 3000,- / Euro 2200,-

The journal GENETICS, published by The Genetics Society of America, publishes high-quality, original research presenting novel findings bearing on inheritance. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to mouse to man, as well as theoretical work. The journal also publishes Review, Commentary (current issues of interest to geneticists), and Perspective (historical) articles, as well as articles focused on the teaching of genetics.GENETICS is a peer-reviewed, peer-edited journal. All editorial decisions are made by the authors' peers. Full documentation of the data presented, access to all raw data as well as compelling evidence for the conclusions drawn are requirements for consideration for publication.

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.

Genetics Selection Evolution is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal dedicated to original research on all aspects of genetics and selection in farm animal species and in other species that provide novel and/or relevant insights into the genetics of farm animals.

With the vast, recent increase in the amount and spectrum of available genetic, genomic, phenomic, and other -omic data, there is an ever-increasing requirement for the collaboration and successful integration of varied results, techniques, and methods in furthering the advancement of the future of genetics to benefit farm animals and associated production systems.

The journal Genetics Selection Evolution focuses on contributing to these developments by providing a high-visibility forum for the dissemination of original reports, reviews, and perspectives that will prompt new insights and discussions, as well as broaden the readers’ scientific interests.

Genetics Selection Evolution publishes results from all levels of study, from the gene to the quantitative trait, from the individual to the population, the breed or the species. Contributions concerning both the biological approach, from molecular genetics to quantitative genetics, as well as the mathematical approach, from population genetics to statistics, are welcome. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: statistical genetics and genomics, breeding objectives, development and analysis of new phenotypes and large-scale phenotyping, analysis of whole-genome and other -omics data, genetic evaluation and prediction models, genomic and other selection and breeding strategies, use of biotechnology in animal breeding, integration of heterogeneous genomic data, applied and experimental selection, gene and QTL mapping and characterization, functional genomics, characterization and management of genetic diversity of populations, theory and mathematical models relevant to genetics of farm animal populations. Contributions must include statements on the relevance of the work to the broader readership of the journal.

research in genetics, evolution and related scientific disciplines.
