人类遗传

汇集来自世界各地的原始研究报告和简短交流，「人类遗传学」杂志致力于对人类群体遗传学、关联和连锁分析、疾病遗传机制以及统计遗传学的新方法进行方法论和应用研究。这些信息对许多医学领域的价值在于，该杂志在从免疫学和血液学到流行病学和公共卫生规划等领域都得到了大量引用，并且至少有50％的「人类遗传学」论文在出版8年后仍然被引用（根据ISI期刊引用报告）。每年还出版关于方法论主题的专题（例如2014年的《血缘关系与基因组学》，2012年的《分析复杂疾病中的罕见变异》）或特定领域的进展综述（2014年的《欧洲人群的遗传多样性：进化证据和医学意义》，2013年的《基因与肥胖环境》）。该领域的知名专家被邀请为这些专题做出贡献。

Gathering original research reports and short communications from all over the world, 'Human Heredity' is devoted to methodological and applied research on the genetics of human populations, association and linkage analysis, genetic mechanisms of disease, and new methods for statistical genetics, for example, analysis of rare variants and results from next generation sequencing. The value of this information to many branches of medicine is shown by the number of citations the journal receives in fields ranging from immunology and hematology to epidemiology and public health planning, and the fact that at least 50% of all 'Human Heredity' papers are still cited more than 8 years after publication (according to ISI Journal Citation Reports). Special issues on methodological topics (such as ‘Consanguinity and Genomics’ in 2014; ‘Analyzing Rare Variants in Complex Diseases’ in 2012) or reviews of advances in particular fields (‘Genetic Diversity in European Populations: Evolutionary Evidence and Medical Implications’ in 2014; ‘Genes and the Environment in Obesity’ in 2013) are published every year. Renowned experts in the field are invited to contribute to these special issues.
