Open access (OA) journal Human Genomics and Proteomics (HGP) marks the first title to be launched through SAGE-Hindawi, a joint venture between Sage Publishing and the Hindawi Publishing Corporation. The journal is the first database journal affiliated with a database, FINDbase: the National/Ethnic Mutation Database documenting frequencies of causative mutations leading to inherited disorders in various populations worldwide.
A peer-reviewed international OA journal, HGP seeks to provide a forum for the discussion of research on human genomics and proteomics, systems biology and various aspects of personalised medicine. The journal's affiliation with the FINDbase database offers a distinct opportunity to widen access to essential reference information on population-specific mutation data across a range of genetic disorders.
The journal will publish high quality original and review articles comprising research on human genomics and proteomics. Additionally, short articles including datasets on population-specific distribution and frequencies of disease-causing mutations will be considered for inclusion in the journal's dedicated section. These articles will also be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, will be published against a PubMed ID upon acceptance of the journal by PubMed/Medline.
