STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new open access journal, Applied and Translational Genomics. The journal is dedicated to publishing articles on applied genomics and translational research.
The completion of the human genome project gave way to research that takes the genetic code and applies it to research that aims to eradicate disease. This applied genomic research is most relevant in the area of translational research, or, the field of research which finds itself between that of basic research and clinical trials. Applied and Translational Genomics serves as a home for this exponentially expanding field of research.
First articles to be published in the journal are now available through ScienceDirect. Dr. Dhavendra Kumar will serve as Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
