Heredity is the official journal of the Genetics Society. It covers a broad range of topics within the field of genetics and therefore papers must address conceptual or applied issues of interest to the journal's wide readership. The focus should thus be on broad general lessons that can be extended across systems.The journal particularly encourages submissions in the following areas:population genetics/ genomicsfunctional genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomicsepigeneticsecological geneticsevolutionary geneticsquantitative geneticsadaptation genomicscrop and livestock genetics/ genomics

《遺傳》是遺傳學(xué)學(xué)會的官方期刊。它涵蓋了遺傳學(xué)領(lǐng)域的廣泛主題，因此，論文必須解決期刊廣大讀者感興趣的概念或應(yīng)用問題。因此，重點應(yīng)該放在可以跨系統(tǒng)擴(kuò)展的廣泛的一般教訓(xùn)上。該期刊特別鼓勵在下列領(lǐng)域提交意見:群體遺傳學(xué)和基因組學(xué)功能基因組學(xué)、轉(zhuǎn)錄組學(xué)、代謝組學(xué)和蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)表觀遺傳學(xué)生態(tài)遺傳學(xué)進(jìn)化遺傳學(xué)數(shù)量遺傳學(xué)適應(yīng)基因組學(xué)作物和牲畜遺傳學(xué)/基因組學(xué)
