Human population genetics - including studies which elucidate human history, our understanding of chromosome evolution, and the geographic distribution of particular diseases, worldwide. Will consider studies on primate populations. Statistical genetics - the application and improvement of mathematical approaches for analysis of genetic data, including linkage and association mapping of genes and QTLs. Welcomes papers focussing on more general bioinformatic approaches. Genetics of common multifactorial diseases and other complex traits and QTLs - in general we expect these to be human but relevant animal models will also be considered.

PLOS Biology Public Library of Science, 2003- We believe there is a global need for greater access to scientific and medical information and that open- access journals can meet this need by removing subscription barriers to the written scientific record. Our goal, however, is not simply to provide a free online journal. Our goal is to create a potent scientific and public resource. As more open-access articles become available, we and many others will be working to develop new tools for integrating, interlinking, organizing, searching, and annotating this expanding collection of information. We invite the community to share these tools as they become available on our site, as well as to propose tools, links, and techniques that would make this treasury of scientific information more useful.

journals Journal of Proteome Research, American Chemical Society, 2002- http://pubs.acs.org/journals/jprobs/ All aspects of systems- oriented, global protein analysis and function, emphasizing the synergy between physical and life sciences resulting in a multi- disciplinary approach to the understanding of biological processes. Integrates the fields of chemistry, mathematics, applied physics, biology, and medicine to better understand the function of proteins in biological systems. Molecular and Cellular Proteomics MCP, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002- http://www.mcponline.org/ Scope purposely broad. Open to contributions that describe the structural and functional properties of proteins and their expression, particularly with respect to the developmental time courses of the organism of which they are a part. Emphasis on determining how the presence or absence of proteins affects biological responses and how the interaction of proteins with germane cellular partners allows them to function. Focus will be on both structural and functional aspects of proteins. Significant advances in methodology would be appropriate subject matter too. The inclusion of array technologies that measure changes in mRNA levels (as opposed to other arrays) can well be viewed as the interface between genomics and proteomics. However, the important predictive value of this information with respect to subsequent changes in expression of the proteins themselves suggests that this area of investigation also falls within the proposed scope of the journal. It is also important to recognize that a significant part of the work on proteomics for the foreseeable future will reflect calculations and/or predictions as opposed to experimental data. This, of course, is particularly true for those aspects of bioinformatics that address needs in proteomics. Spin-off from the Journal of Biological Chemistry Nature Structural & Molecular Biology NSMB, Nature Publishing, 1994- http://www.nature.com/nsmb/ Will place a strong emphasis on functional studies, and on understanding biological processes in terms of their underlying molecular mechanisms.
