About the Journal
The American Journal of Genetics and Genomics (AJGG) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing high-quality research across classical and molecular genetics, population and evolutionary genomics, functional genomics, systems and synthetic biology, medical genetics, and genome technologies. Our mission is to advance rigorous, reproducible science that translates genomic discovery into biological insight and clinical benefit.
AJGG welcomes original research articles, reviews, short communications, methods and data resource papers, case reports with mechanistic insight, and perspectives. Interdisciplinary work that integrates experimentation, computation, and theory is strongly encouraged. Core areas include:
- Genome assembly/annotation, variation discovery, and pangenomics
- Epigenomics, chromatin architecture, and gene regulation
- Transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and multi-omics integration
- Single-cell and spatial omics; lineage tracing
- Quantitative genetics, GWAS, fine-mapping, and causal inference
- Population/evolutionary genomics, phylogenomics, and demography
- Human and clinical genomics, rare disease, and pharmacogenomics
- Microbial, virome, and metagenomics; host–microbiome interactions
- Plant and animal genomics; breeding and domestication genetics
- Synthetic biology, genome editing, and functional screens
- Bioinformatics, algorithms, statistical genetics, and AI for genomics
- Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) of genomics
All manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review overseen by an international editorial board. We endorse open science practices, including FAIR data, code availability, and detailed methods reporting where feasible.
As an open-access journal, AJGG provides immediate, free access to all content to promote equitable knowledge sharing and accelerate discovery.
The journal is published quarterly and is working toward inclusion in leading indexing services to maximise the visibility and impact of authors’ work.
