Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Trends in Genetics focuses on the mechanisms and regulation of genetic variation and expression. Recent articles explore the role of small RNAs in regulating transposons and host genes, the impact of satellite DNA variation on genome instability, and the function of gene body methylation in controlling transcriptional noise. The journal also addresses the challenges of data quality and bias in genomic research, particularly in the context of machine learning and generative AI applications.
