American Journal of Human Genetics Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking 2024

AJHG provides a record of research and review relating to heredity in humans and to the application of genetic principles in medicine and public policy, as well as in related areas of molecular and cell biology. Topics explored by AJHG include behavioral genetics, biochemical genetics, clinical genetics, cytogenetics, dysmorphology, gene therapy, genetic counseling, genetic epidemiology, genomics, immunogenetics, molecular genetics, neurogenetics, and population genetics.AJHG welcomes submissions of articles and reports on timely subjects concerning all aspects of human genetics, including studies of model organisms that are of direct relevance to human genetics. Manuscripts should be written in a manner accessible to investigators representing diverse backgrounds in human genetics. Descriptions of new statistical methods of general interest to the genetics community are welcome. New methods should be compared to existing methods with the use of real data and/or simulations with parameters (e.g., haplotype frequencies, effect sizes) that are based on a real data example (e.g., marker or haplotype data from the HapMap project). All novel computer programs must be made publicly available by the time that the manuscript is published, and a URL for the website must be included in the Web Resources section of the manuscript. Letters commenting on material previously published in AJHG are also welcome.AJHG does not publish reports of either single mutations or mutational surveys of previously identified loci unless they have unusual significance and substantial insight. Descriptions of new linkage assignments will be considered only if they are of special interest. Reports of negative data will not normally be considered.

AJHG 提供了与人类遗传学相关的研究与综述记录，涵盖遗传学原理在医学、公共政策以及分子和细胞生物学相关领域的应用。AJHG 探讨的主题包括行为遗传学、生化遗传学、临床遗传学、细胞遗传学、畸形学、基因治疗、遗传咨询、遗传流行病学、基因组学、免疫遗传学、分子遗传学、神经遗传学和群体遗传学。AJHG 欢迎关于人类遗传学各方面即时主题的文章和报告的投稿，包括对人类遗传学有直接相关性的模式生物的研究。文章应采用便于具有不同人类遗传学背景的研究者理解的方式撰写。欢迎对遗传学社区具有普遍意义的新的统计方法的描述。新方法应通过与实际数据（例如，来自 HapMap 项目的标记或单倍型数据）和/或使用基于实际数据示例（例如，参数如单倍型频率、效应大小）的模拟进行比较。所有新颖的计算机程序必须在稿件发表时公开可用，并在稿件的网络资源部分包含网站 URL。对 AJHG 已发表材料的评论信件也欢迎。除非具有非同寻常的重要性和深刻的见解，否则 AJHG 不会发表关于单个突变或先前确定位点的突变调查的报告。只有当新的连锁关系分配具有特殊兴趣时，才会考虑其描述。通常不会考虑负面数据的报告。
