Mammalian Genome focuses on experimental, theoretical, and technical aspects of genomics and genetics in mouse, human, and other species, particularly those which bear on studies of gene function. The journal publishes original papers that present novel findings in all areas of mammalian genetic research as well as reviews on areas of topical interest. The journal also features commentary and editorial to alert and inform readers of developments in the areas of mammalian genetics and functional genomics.Coverage emphasizes gene structure and expression studies; mutagenesis, the characterization of new mutations and the identification of animal models of human genetic disorders; genetic, physical, and comparative mapping, particularly for the study of gene function; genetic analysis of complex traits; informatics related to genome analysis and functional genomics; novel technical approaches.Mammalian Genome is the official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society.

哺乳動物基因組學側重于實驗、理論和技術方面的基因組學和遺傳學在小鼠、人類和其他物種，特別是那些與基因功能的研究。該雜志發表原創論文，提出在所有領域的哺乳動物基因研究的新發現，以及對熱點領域的評論。該雜志還提供評論和社論，提醒和通知讀者在哺乳動物遺傳學和功能基因組學領域的發展。覆蓋強調基因結構和表達研究;突變、新突變的特征和人類遺傳疾病動物模型的鑒定;遺傳、物理和比較制圖，特別是用于研究基因功能;復雜性狀遺傳分析基因組分析與功能基因組學相關的信息學;新穎的技術方法。哺乳動物基因組是國際哺乳動物基因組學會的官方期刊。
