Genetics Research

Genetics Research is a key forum for original research on all aspects of genetics. Building on the success and history of its previous incarnation, Genetical Research, the journal has a publishing remit that provides comprehensive coverage of subjects vital to the field, including: evolutionary and population genetics, genetics of complex traits, quantitative and statistical genetics, genomics and molecular and developmental genetics. The breadth and quality of papers, reviews and book reviews make the journal invaluable to geneticists, evolutionary biologists, plant and animal breeders and molecular biologists.
