HUMAN HEREDITY

人类遗传学收集了世界各地的原始研究报告和简短的交流，致力于人类群体遗传学的方法学和应用研究、关联和连锁分析、疾病的遗传机制和统计遗传学的新方法，例如对罕见变异和结果的分析。OM下一代测序。这一信息对医学许多分支的价值体现在该杂志在免疫学和血液学、流行病学和公共卫生规划等领域的引文数量，以及至少50%的人类遗传论文在发表后8年内仍被引用的事实（根据ISI期刊CIStation报告）。方法学专题专题专题（如2014年的“血缘和基因组学”；2015年的“遗传学流行病学中的组学数据整合”；或回顾特定领域的进展（2014年的“欧洲人群的遗传多样性：进化证据和医学含义”；“肥胖中的基因和环境”）。每年出版。邀请该领域的知名专家为这些特殊问题作出贡献。

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; ‘Integration of Omics Data in Genetic Epidemiology’ in 2015 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.
