Integrating Genomics into Basic and Clinical Research

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of genomics into basic and clinical research has greatly advanced our understandings about the relationship between genes and health, leading to revolutionized approaches to disease management and prevention. These benefits will only increase with time as genetics testing capabilities and bioinformatic approaches improve and costs decrease.

The Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to publish a collection of articles that address the benefits, risks, and challenges of integrating genetics into basic and clinical research. We will consider original research, systematic reviews, and well-designed case studies about, but not limited to, the following topics.

• Benefits of and barriers to innovative approaches to analyzing genomic information.
• Novel methods for and practical challenges to integrating genomics into clinical studies or research networks.
• Approaches and outcomes for returning individual genomic research results.
• Ethical and legal challenges associated with integrating genetics into basic and clinical research.

We encourage articles that address topics related to diversity and populations traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research. We also encourage articles that address polygenic risk scores.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
