《遺傳學前沿》出版了嚴格的同行評審研究報告，內容涉及生命的所有領域，從人類到植物到牲畜和其他模型生物的基因和基因組。由世界領先專家的杰出編輯委員會領導，這本多學科、開放獲取的雜志走在前沿，向研究人員、學者、臨床醫生、政策制定者和公眾傳播前沿研究。遺傳和基因組對各種生物過程的影響的研究已被很好地記錄下來。然而，大多數的發現還有待發現。在基因組的功能和變異、使用遺傳和基因組工具以及分析各種生物現象的遺傳基礎方面，一個新的時代正在出現重大的發展。遺傳學前沿涵蓋了以下專業部分的研究領域。所有專業板塊都是開放存取的，并發表原創研究、評論、意見和評論。這包括從最基本的到臨床應用最廣泛的遺傳和基因組研究的全部范圍，包括方法學、應用和含義。

Frontiers in Genetics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on genes and genomes relating to all the domains of life, from humans to plants to livestock and other model organisms. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of the world’s leading experts, this multidisciplinary, open-access journal is at the forefront of communicating cutting-edge research to researchers, academics, clinicians, policy makers and the public.The study of inheritance and the impact of the genome on various biological processes is well documented. However, the majority of discoveries are still to come. A new era is seeing major developments in the function and variability of the genome, the use of genetic and genomic tools and the analysis of the genetic basis of various biological phenomena.Frontiers in Genetics covers the areas of research in the specialty sections outlined below. All specialty sections are open-access and publish original research, reviews, opinions and commentaries. This comprises the full spectrum of genetic and genomic inquiry, from the most basic to the most clinically applied, incorporating methodology, applications, and implications.
