Genetic Epidemiology

期刊简介：Genetic Epidemiology is a peer-reviewed journal for discussion of research on the genetic causes of the distribution of human traits in families and populations. Emphasis is placed on the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to human disease as revealed by genetic, epidemiological, and biologic investigations.Genetic Epidemiology primarily publishes papers in statistical genetics, a research field that is primarily concerned with development of statistical, bioinformatical, and computational models for analyzing genetic data. Incorporation of underlying biology and population genetics into conceptual models is favored. The Journal seeks original articles comprising either applied research or innovative statistical, mathematical, computational, or genomic methodologies that advance studies in genetic epidemiology. Other types of reports are encouraged, such as letters to the editor, topic reviews, and perspectives from other fields of research that will likely enrich the field of genetic epidemiology.

【译文】遗传流行病学是一本同行评审期刊，用于讨论关于家庭和人群中人类性状分布的遗传原因的研究。重点在于遗传和环境因素对人类疾病的相对贡献，这些贡献是通过遗传、流行病学和生物学的调查揭示的。遗传流行病学主要发表统计遗传学领域的论文，该领域主要关注开发用于分析遗传数据的统计、生物信息学和计算模型。将基础生物学和群体遗传学纳入概念模型是首选的。该期刊寻求包含应用研究或创新统计、数学、计算或基因组方法学的原创文章，这些方法可以推进遗传流行病学的研究。还鼓励其他类型的报告，如编辑信函、主题综述以及其他研究领域对遗传流行病学领域的丰富贡献。
