Aims and Scope:
Nature Reviews Genetics is an invaluable source of information in genetics and genomics. The journal's scope covers the whole breadth of these fields, bringing the readers cutting edge Reviews on topics that range from evolutionary genetics to systems biology. By publishing Reviews, as well as Perspectives articles, amoung which are community-driven Guidelines and Science and Society articles, Nature Reviews Genetics provides a balanced and unique perspective of the field which goes well beyond the conventional review, and appeals to students and established scientists alike.

All Reviews and Perspectives are written by carefully chosen leaders in their field and subject to rigorous peer-review resulting in each issue bringing balanced, high-quality and authoritative articles. While the experts appreciate the insights and thought provoking synthesis provided by the authors, non-specialists are helped by the glossary definitions, additional background information in the boxes and highlighted references.

Readership:
Researchers and decision makers (from academia and industry alike) who use genetics and genomic approaches in their research or have an interest in these disciplines, students and educators, physicians, policy makers and bioethicists.
