Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of a new journal - Genes & Cancer. The journal will be published monthly beginning in January 2010. Dr. Prem Reddy, founder and previous Editor-in-Chief of the highly-ranked journal Oncogene, will serve as the editor.
The field of cancer research is entering a new and exciting phase where the convergence of information from genomics, bioinformatics, and modern genetics is beginning to provide new clues into how cancer cells overcome growth regulatory pathways. Genes & Cancer will cover all aspects of the structure and function of oncogenes, growth suppressor and apoptotic genes, their role in signal transduction process and the mechanisms by which their expression and function are altered during tumor development.
The journal will publish original studies and reviews that are relevant to all aspects of cancer research, signal transduction, and developmental biology. Topics covered by the journal are divided into four broad categories - the structure and function of cancer-associated genes as well as genes encoded by the DNA and RNA tumor viruses; the role played by these genes in normal development; genomics and epigenomics of cancer; and the discovery and mechanism of action of cancer therapeutics.
