投稿须知/期刊简介:

From the days when Mendel studied peas in his monastery garden, to Darwin’s eye-opening journey on the HMS Beagle; from Fisher’s mathematical reconciliation of the Darwinian and Mendelian perspectives, to Watson and Crick’s discovery of the structure of DNA, and the present era of megascale genomics projects; the field of genetics has progressed from obscurity, to heresy, to arcane science, to the province of highly specialized scientists and science fiction writers, to being intricately woven into every aspect of modern biomedicine.&nbsp;<br>All specialty sections of&nbsp;Frontiers in Genetics&nbsp;are open-access and aim to publish leading-edge research, reviews, opinions, and commentaries across the full spectrum of genetic and genomic inquiry, from the most basic to the most applied; across all branches of the tree of life; embracing methodology, applications, and implications. Too often, intellectual sub-fields remain fragmented and miss out on the cross-fertilization and hybrid vigor for which any geneticist would wish.

期刊描述简介:

Frontiers in Genetics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on genes and genomes relating to all the domains of life, from humans to plants to livestock and other model organisms. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of the world’s leading experts, this multidisciplinary, open-access journal is at the forefront of communicating cutting-edge research to researchers, academics, clinicians, policy makers and the public. The study of inheritance and the impact of the genome on various biological processes is well documented. However, the majority of discoveries are still to come. A new era is seeing major developments in the function and variability of the genome, the use of genetic and genomic tools and the analysis of the genetic basis of various biological phenomena. Frontiers in Genetics covers the areas of research in the specialty sections outlined below. All specialty sections are open-access and publish original research, reviews, opinions and commentaries. This comprises the full spectrum of genetic and genomic inquiry, from the most basic to the most clinically applied, incorporating methodology, applications, and implications.
