Journal of genetics and genomics/Journal of Genetics and Genomics

Journal of Genetics and Genomics (JGG), founded in 1974 and previously known as Acta Genetica Sinica, is an international journal publishing peer-reviewed articles of novel and significant discoveries in all areas of biology and biomedicine. It publishes findings of general interest that provide significant insights into important biological processes in organisms ranging from microbes to plants, animals, and humans, with publication focused on novel discoveries, mechanistic insights, and new technologies, tools, and resources, as well as reviews and opinion articles on recent advances.
