Aims & Scope

Biochemical Genetics focuses on the biochemical principles underlying genome structure, expression, and evolution across all life forms. Publishes original, methodological, and review articles that contribute to the advancement of the field. Presents pure research on genome structure and mapping, gene expression and regulation, genetic variation, evolution, and phylogenetics. Also focuses on applied research in conservation genetics, agricultural genetics, genetic disorders, and genetic epidemiology.
