Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality studies of gene expression in development. Studies using cell culture are also suitable if clearly relevant to development, e.g., analysis of key regulatory genes or of gene sets in the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells. Key areas of interest include:In-situ studies such as expression patterns of important or interesting genes at all levels, including transcription and protein expressionTemporal studies of large gene sets during developmentTransgeni... studies to study cell lineage in tissue formation"Omic" studies: In addition of the aims described above, Gene Expression Patterns will publish "Omics" studies (genomics, transcriptomic, proteomics, including single cell RNAseq, etc) relevant for embryo development.

Gene Reports

ISSN: 2452-0144
5 Year impact factor: 1
Impact factor: 1

Gene Reports is a companion title to Gene and a member of the Gene Family. Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses.Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal, and topics in all fields will be considered for publication (note that manuscripts on bioinformatics are only considered for review if they contain experiments). General topics include, but are not limited to, those that follow:Genome sciences - Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal topology and organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA).Modern “omics” studies - Focus on the extraction of information from primary high-throughput datasets (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways, and protein/protein networks, for the generation of testable hypotheses supported by experimental data.Gene regulation, expression, and function - Focus on processes that mediate gene read-out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation).Cel... signaling - Focus on the molecular mechanisms that transduce information from extra-cellular signaling (NF-kB, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs, etc.) or intracellular sensory (PAMPs, DAMPs, DNA, RNA sensing, etc.) cues to the nucleus for gene expression, with a special emphasis on physiological contexts, such as immunity, infectious disease, drug treatment, and cancers.Molecular pathology and regenerative medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, and population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics.Gene Reports encourages submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Gene Reports also welcomes papers that have predominantly a descriptive component but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies, or provide important confirmation of recently published discoveries.The primary criteria for acceptance are that the work is original and scientifically sound. The journal appreciates that standards of novelty are arbitrary, differ among disciplines and geographic locations, as well as change with time. In partnership with Editors, Referees and Authors, the journal will promote the revision of papers to ensure that accepted papers are reasonably complete and competitive with concurrent submissions in a given field.Authors are also welcome to submit to the other journals that make up the Gene Family: Gene, Meta Gene, Plant Gene.

Genetics in Medicine

ISSN: 1098-3600
5 Year impact factor: 7.4
Impact factor: 6.6

Genetics in Medicine (GIM) is an official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. The journal's mission is to enhance the knowledge, understanding, and practice of medical genetics and genomics through publications in clinical and laboratory genetics and genomics, including ethical, legal, and social issues as well as public health. As genetics and genomics continue to increase in importance and relevance in medical practice, the journal will be an accessible and authoritative resource for the dissemination of medical genetic knowledge to all medical providers through appropriate original research, reviews, commentaries, standards, and guidelines. GIM encourages research that combats racism, includes diverse populations and is written by authors from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.In addition:GIM does not publish case reportsManuscripts reporting population level research carried out in predominantly or exclusively White populations will generally not be accepted without strong justification for lack of diversity in the population studied.The significance of articles reporting data and/or observations from a limited geographic region is evaluated in the context of whether they are generalizable across relevant populations or whether they might fill a knowledge gap in populations that are underrepresented in genetics research or that experience health disparities.Although cancer genetics is a focus, GIM discourages cancer genetics manuscripts with data limited to somatic and/or tumor genetics. Manuscripts with novel findings on non-germline genetics (for example, somatic [tumor] variation, CHIP [clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential], somatic and constitutional mosaicism) that inform our understanding of germline risk may also be considered. Manuscripts reporting on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or "liquid biopsy" are also generally not within the scope of GIM.Manuscripts should not contain previously published material without appropriate permission.GWAS studies are generally low priority for GIM.
