Aims & scope
The HUGO Journal is the Official Journal of the Human Genome Organisation and publishes original research and articles on all aspects of genomic medicine. The aim of the journal is to provide an excellent resource for the publication of peer-reviewed research articles on a wide range of genome-based fields with proven or likely implications for the current and future practice of clinical medicine and public health. The wide scope of the journal reflects the broad and rapidly expanding nature of the field of genomics.
