Journal Guide

Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality studies of gene expression during development. These studies can be the in situ expression patterns of important or interesting genes, or the temporal expression of large gene sets during development. Studies of gene expression in cell culture are also suitable if they have clear developmental relevance; for example, analysis of key regulatory genes or of gene sets in the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells. There is no specific length limitation for the papers provided that the results are reported succinctly.

Gene Therapy covers both the research and clinical applications of the new genetic therapy techniques currently being developed. Over the last decade, gene therapy protocols have entered clinical trials in increasing numbers and as they cover a wide spectrum of diseases, these studies promise to unite the diverse organ-based specialities into which modern medicine has become divided. Gene Therapy covers all aspects of gene therapy as applied to human disease, including: * novel technological developments for gene transfer, control and silencing * basic science studies of mechanisms of gene transfer and control of expression * preclinical animal model systems and validation studies * clinical trial reports which have significant impact for the field * gene-based vaccine development and applications * cell-based therapies including all aspects of stem cells and genetically modified cellular approaches.

Genes & Genomics is an official journal of the Korean Genetics Society (http://kgenetics.or.kr/). Although it is an official publication of the Genetics Society of Korea, membership of the Society is not required for contributors. It is a peer-reviewed international journal publishing print (ISSN 1976-9571) and online version (E-ISSN 2092-9293). It covers all disciplines of genetics and genomics from prokaryotes to eukaryotes from fundamental heredity to molecular aspects. The articles can be reviews, research articles, and short communications.

The journal does not exclude the topics of plant biology, development biology, immunology, cancer, and disease biology if the experiment and subsequent analyses are viewed as genetics and genomics. Genes & Genomics will publish only electronic version of articles from 2014. All contents are available in web (http://link.springer.com/journal/13258). 

Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.

Aims and Scopes

Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high-quality foundational research, particularly research that generates datasets such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome-wide association and QTL studies, as well as mutant screens and advances in methods and technology. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of these data is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.
