Heredity

Heredity is the official journal of the Genetics Society. It covers a broad range of topics within the field of genetics and therefore papers must address conceptual or applied issues of interest to the journal's wide readership. The focus should thus be on broad general lessons that can be extended across systems.
The journal particularly encourages submissions in the following areas:

- population genetics/ genomics
- functional genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics
- epigenetics
- ecological genetics
- evolutionary genetics
- quantitative genetics
- adaptation genomics
- crop and livestock genetics/ genomics

Heredity's original articles cover new theory and primary empirical research that offers novel insights, using the latest advances in technological and analytical tools. The journal also publishes regular reviews and special issues on current topics.
