Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “The 15th Anniversary of Genes: Feature Papers in the Human Genomics and Genetic Diseases Section”, will gather high-quality reviews or research articles on all aspects of human health and disease, as well as the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of genetic disorders and heritable or acquired cancers. It will be dedicated to recent advances in the research area of genomics and genetics and will comprise a selection of exclusive papers from the Editorial Board Members (EBMs) of the Human Genomics and Genetic Section, as well as invited papers from relevant experts. We also invite senior experts in the field to contribute to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue will celebrate the 15th anniversary of Genes and the 10th anniversary of the journal receiving its first impact factor. We aim to showcase our section as an attractive open access publishing platform for genomics and genetic research.
