Aims and scope
Discover Genetics and Evolution (formerly Current Genetics) is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research across all fields relevant to genetics and evolution.
The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in genetics and evolution science and its uses in research development and society. As a fully open access journal, we ensure that our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone. The journal particularly welcomes work that aims to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Life Below Water; Life on Land; Good Health and Wellbeing; and Zero Hunger.
