Journal Title：Human Heredity

Gathering original research reports and short communications from all over the world, 'Human Heredity' is devoted to methodological and applied research on the genetics of human populations, association and linkage analysis, genetic mechanisms of disease, and new methods for statistical genetics, for example, analysis of rare variants and results from next generation sequencing. The value of this information to many branches of medicine is shown by the number of citations the journal receives in fields ranging from immunology and hematology to epidemiology and public health planning, and the fact that at least 50% of all 'Human Heredity' papers are still cited more than 8 years after publication (according to ISI Journal Citation Reports). Special issues on methodological topics (such as ‘Consanguinity and Genomics’ in 2014; ‘Analyzing Rare Variants in Complex Diseases’ in 2012) or reviews of advances in particular fields (‘Genetic Diversity in European Populations: Evolutionary Evidence and Medical Implications’ in 2014; ‘Genes and the Environment in Obesity’ in 2013) are published every year. Renowned experts in the field are invited to contribute to these special issues.

收集来自世界各地的原创研究报告和简短交流，“人类遗传”致力于人群遗传学、关联和连锁分析、疾病遗传机制和统计遗传学新方法的方法论和应用研究例如，分析罕见变异和下一代测序的结果。该信息对许多医学分支的价值体现在该期刊在免疫学和血液学、流行病学和公共卫生规划等领域的引用次数，以及至少 50% 的“人类遗传”论文被引用的事实发表后 8 年多仍被引用（根据 ISI 期刊引文报告）。关于方法论主题的特刊（例如 2014 年的“血缘关系和基因组学”；2012 年的“分析复杂疾病中的罕见变异”）或特定领域的进展回顾（2014 年的“欧洲人群的遗传多样性：进化证据和医学意义”） ; 'Genes and the Environment in Obesity' in 2013）每年出版。邀请该领域的知名专家为这些特殊问题做出贡献。
