Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the evolutionary history of extinct species, including genetic analysis of ancient genomes and their relationship to modern populations. It also covers the molecular mechanisms of diseases such as lung cancer, including predictive biomarkers, cellular pathways, and therapeutic interventions. Further research explores the genetic regulation of protein levels, the identification of drug targets, and the development of resistance mechanisms in cancer therapies. Additionally, the journal investigates the role of neuroimmune interactions in tumorigenesis and the intercellular transfer of genomic material, as well as multi-omics profiling to understand molecular differences across human populations related to ancestry, geography, and diet.
