《遺傳學(xué)趨勢》創(chuàng)刊于1985年，很快成為遺傳學(xué)家“必讀”的期刊，以其簡明易懂的文章而聞名，涵蓋從發(fā)育生物學(xué)到進(jìn)化論的一系列主題。這個傳統(tǒng)一直延續(xù)到今天，TiG仍然是社區(qū)中最受歡迎的，因?yàn)樗歇?dú)特的內(nèi)容。然而，隨著該領(lǐng)域的改變，該雜志的范圍也發(fā)生了變化，它現(xiàn)在涵蓋了基因組學(xué)、表觀遺傳學(xué)和計(jì)算遺傳學(xué)等新領(lǐng)域，同時繼續(xù)涵蓋轉(zhuǎn)錄調(diào)控、群體遺傳學(xué)和染色體生物學(xué)等傳統(tǒng)學(xué)科。然而，該雜志的核心目標(biāo)仍然是為研究人員和學(xué)生提供高質(zhì)量的、新穎的評論、評論和討論，最重要的是，培養(yǎng)對基因研究各方面進(jìn)展的欣賞。每一期的TiG包含簡潔、活潑和最新的評論和觀點(diǎn)，以及各種較短的文章，如科學(xué)與社會和重點(diǎn)報(bào)道文章。邀請?zhí)囟I(lǐng)域的主要研究人員進(jìn)行評論，客觀地記錄最近和重要的發(fā)展。Opinon的文章提供了一個辯論和假設(shè)的論壇，更短的文章討論了科學(xué)和政策交叉的遺傳學(xué)方面，以及該領(lǐng)域的新興觀點(diǎn)。所有文章都經(jīng)過同行評審。TiG歡迎信件。出版的決定取決于編輯，通常將邀請信中討論的任何文章的作者作出答復(fù)。信件可能涉及最近一期雜志提出的話題，或遺傳學(xué)家普遍感興趣的其他問題。

Trends in Genetics was launched in 1985 and quickly became a “must read” journal for geneticists, known for its concise, accessible articles on a range of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This tradition continues today, and TiG remains a favorite in the community for its distinctive content. As the field has changed, though, so too has the scope of the journal, which now encompasses new areas, such as genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, while continuing to cover traditional subjects like transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology. The core aim of the journal, however, is still to provide researchers and students with high-quality, novel reviews, commentaries, and discussions and, above all, to foster an appreciation for the advances being made on all fronts of genetic research.Each issue of TiG contains concise, lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions as well as a variety of shorter articles, such as Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Reviews are invited from leading researchers in a specific field and objectively chronicle recent and important developments. Opinon articles provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles discuss aspects of genetics at the intersection of science and policy as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles are peer-reviewed.TiG welcomes correspondence. The decision to publish rests with the Editor, and the author(s) of any article discussed in a Letter will normally be invited to reply. Letters may address topics raised in recent issues of the journal, or other matters of general interest to geneticists.
