Genome Research publishes studies on the structure, function, biology, and evolution of genomes of all organisms, with a long-standing emphasis on genome-scale analyses, chromatin structure and function, epigenomics, systems genetics, and proteomics. We also feature gene discoveries that provide novel insights and reports of high-throughput experimental and computational approaches. In addition to these core areas, the journal is now particularly interested in the following areas:
comprehensive characterization of genome sequence variation
understanding the basis of phenotypic complexity
network biology and the functional effects of genetic variation
evolutionary mechanisms of species origin, adaptation, and genomic diversity, including the study of ancient DNA
genomic medicine, including mechanisms of penetrance, expressivity, and modifier effects
understanding genomic and biological processes through single-cell analyses
novel computational algorithms that provide insight into biological processes
genome editing and engineering
Genome Research is cross-disciplinary, publishing studies that reflect aspects of the above areas in disease and medicine, neuroscience, microbiology, and human, animal, and plant biology.
