About this journal
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human traits and on other model organisms, including the functional and mechanistic annotation of genetic variants, discovery of genetic variation relevant to human health and disease, and genetic approaches to biological mechanisms.
