Genes & Immunity

Genes & Immunity journal cover volume 20 issue 1

Genes & Immunity is a scientific journal that focuses on the research and study of the genetic basis of the immune system and its response to pathogens. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of genetics, immunology, and the intersection of these two fields. This includes studies on the molecular genetics of the immune response, the identification of genes associated with immune diseases and disorders, the genetic mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions, and the development of genetic and genomic approaches to understanding immune function and regulation.

Scope and Topics

The scope of Genes & Immunity encompasses a wide range of topics within the fields of genetics and immunology. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• The genetic basis of immune system diseases and disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, and immunodeficiencies.
• The role of genes in the development, function, and regulation of the immune system.
• Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and other genetic and genomic approaches to identify genes and genetic variants associated with immune system function and pathology.
• The molecular mechanisms by which genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to infectious diseases.
• Epigenetics and gene expression regulation in the immune system.
• The development and application of genetic engineering and gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, for studying and modulating immune responses.

Submission and Review Process

Genes & Immunity employs a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of high-quality research. Manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a thorough review by experts in the field, who evaluate the scientific validity, originality, and significance of the work. The journal strives for a timely review process and provides constructive feedback to authors.
