PLoS Genetics

Genetics and genomics research has grown at a bewildering pace in the past 15 years. The techniques of these fields are being applied to a wealth of biological questions and experimental systems. PLOS Genetics reflects the full breadth and interdisciplinary nature of this research by publishing outstanding original contributions in all areas of biology.PLOS Genetics publishes human studies, as well as research on model organisms—from mice and flies, to plants and bacteria. Our emphasis is on studies of broad interest that provide significant insight into a biological process or processes. Topics include (but are not limited to) gene discovery and function, population genetics, genome projects, comparative and functional genomics, medical genetics, disease biology, evolution, gene expression, complex traits, chromosome biology, and epigenetics.

在过去的15年里，遗传学和基因组学研究以令人困惑的速度发展。这些领域的技术正在应用于大量的生物学问题和实验系统。公共科学图书馆遗传学通过在生物学的各个领域发表杰出的原始贡献，反映了这项研究的全面性和跨学科性质。公共科学图书馆遗传学出版人类研究，以及对模型生物的研究——从老鼠和苍蝇，到植物和细菌。我们的重点是研究广泛的兴趣，提供了重要的洞察生物过程或过程。主题包括(但不限于)基因发现和功能、群体遗传学、基因组计划、比较和功能基因组学、医学遗传学、疾病生物学、进化、基因表达、复杂性状、染色体生物学和表观遗传学。
