Newswise The Genetics Society of America today announced new appointments to the editorial board of its flagship journal GENETICS. The recent additions complement the renewed focus of the peer-reviewed, peer-edited journal in the areas of genomics, human genetics, and methods, among other fields. <\/p>\n
The newest members of the board bring cutting-edge expertise and reflect the changing, interdisciplinary landscape of our field, while exemplifying GENETICS reputation for rigorous scholarship, said Mark Johnston, Editor-in-Chief of GENETICS and Professor and Chair, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Colorado School of Medicine. Theyre already adding to the momentum of the journals transformation over recent years. <\/p>\n
Two former Associate Editors have also taken on Senior Editor roles to lead the journals expanded coverage of methods and technology development:<\/p>\n
New methods and technologies often drive important discoveries in genetics, and the journal welcomes papers that describe these new approaches, said Fields. <\/p>\n
The new Statistical Genetics and Genomics section will handle articles describing statistical methods, which were formerly published in the Methods, Technology, and Resources section. <\/p>\n
Statistics is an integral part of our field, so its only fitting that it has a dedicated section and its own team of Associate Editors, said Churchill. <\/p>\n
The new Senior Editors are joined by several Associate Editor appointments this year:<\/p>\n
