In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA. The genome includes both the genes and the noncoding DNA, as well as mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA. The study of the genome is called genomics.
The Journal of Genome is an open access Journal that features high quality articles in Genome Biology. The journal aims to provide its readers with top-tier information on all aspects of genomics, in order to engender a better understanding of organismal genomes.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to: Disease genomics; Clinical genomics; Epigenomics; Proteomics; Evolutionary genomics; Comparative genomics; Functional genomics; Genome structure, function, and organization; Pharmacogenomics; Molecular evolution; Genome engineering; Synthetic genomics; Large-scale population genetics; Systems biology; and Applied genetics. Studies pertaining to High throughput genome analyses involving computational biology and bioinformatics such as: Transcriptome analysis, RNA-Sequencing, Next generation DNA sequencing, ChIP-Sequencing, and Microarray are also welcome.
The Journal of Genome has assembled an editorial board comprised of acclaimed scientists from across the world. Every article is subject to a rigorous peer review process by eminent scientists. The journal maintains the highest standards in terms of quality and originality. In addition to Research Articles, the Journal also publishes high quality Perspectives, Commentaries, and Reviews to ensure healthy debates among the readers.
The team at the Journal of Genome takes great pride in providing the authors with a rapid and extremely streamlined editorial process. The Journal of Genome provides an encouraging platform to scholars and researchers for making their significant contributions to the field.
