GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY

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.Genetic Epidemiology primarily publishes papers in statistical genetics, a research field that is primarily concerned with development of statistical, bioinformatical, and computational models for analyzing genetic data. Incorporation of underlying biology and population genetics into conceptual models is favored. The Journal seeks original articles comprising either applied research or innovative statistical, mathematical, 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.

《遗传流行病学》是一份同行评议的期刊，旨在探讨人类特征在家庭和人口中分布的遗传原因。重点放在遗传和环境因素对人类疾病的相对贡献，揭示了遗传，流行病学和生物学调查。遗传流行病学主要发表统计遗传学方面的论文，这是一个主要涉及发展统计、生物信息学和计算模型来分析遗传数据的研究领域。将基础生物学和群体遗传学结合到概念模型中是受欢迎的。该杂志寻求包括应用研究或创新的统计、数学、计算或基因组方法学的原创文章，以促进遗传流行病学的研究。鼓励其他类型的报告，如给编辑的信、主题评论和来自其他研究领域的观点，这些可能会丰富遗传流行病学领域。
