《遺傳學趨勢》創刊于1985年，很快成為遺傳學家“必讀”的期刊，以其簡明易懂的文章而聞名，涵蓋從發育生物學到進化論的一系列主題。這個傳統一直延續到今天，TiG仍然是社區中最受歡迎的，因為它有獨特的內容。然而，隨著該領域的改變，該雜志的范圍也發生了變化，它現在涵蓋了基因組學、表觀遺傳學和計算遺傳學等新領域，同時繼續涵蓋轉錄調控、群體遺傳學和染色體生物學等傳統學科。然而，該雜志的核心目標仍然是為研究人員和學生提供高質量的、新穎的評論、評論和討論，最重要的是，培養對基因研究各方面進展的欣賞。每一期的TiG包含簡潔、活潑和最新的評論和觀點，以及各種較短的文章，如科學與社會和重點報道文章。邀請特定領域的主要研究人員進行評論，客觀地記錄最近和重要的發展。Opinon的文章提供了一個辯論和假設的論壇，更短的文章討論了科學和政策交叉的遺傳學方面，以及該領域的新興觀點。所有文章都經過同行評審。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。信件可能涉及最近一期雜志提出的話題，或遺傳學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.
