Nature Genetics发表有关遗传学最高质量的研究。它涵盖了关于人类和植物特征，以及其他模型生物的遗传和功能基因组研究。目前的重点是通过实验微量变化来研究常见和复杂疾病，进而探究遗传基础，以及基因网络的功能机制，结构和进化。 
期刊收录研究方向：人类疾病病理基因，简单及复杂基因特征的分子研究，癌症遗传学，农业基因组学，发育遗传学，基因表达调控变异，基因组数据提取功能策略及技术，药物基因组学，基因组进化

Chief Editor: Catherine Potenski
Catherine Potenski (ORCiD) obtained her Ph.D. from the Microbiology program at New York University School of Medicine in Irina Derkatch's laboratory where she studied Q/N-rich protein aggregates and prions in the yeast model system. For her postdoctoral work, Catherine joined Hannah Klein's laboratory where she studied mechanisms of ribonucleotide-induced DNA damage in yeast. She joined the Nature Genetics team in 2015.

Senior Editor: Tiago Faial
Tiago Faial (ORCiD) obtained his Ph.D. from the Stem Cell and Developmental Biology program at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Jim Smith and Roger Pedersen, where he studied gene regulatory networks and signaling cascades that underpin mesoderm differentiation. For his postdoctoral work, Tiago joined Joanna Wysocka's laboratory at Stanford University where he studied the dynamics of epigenetic landscapes in pluripotency. He joined the Nature Genetics team in 2015.

Senior Editor: Wei Li
Wei Li (ORCiD) obtained her Ph.D. in Genetics and Genomics from Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Bin Han’s plant genomics and multi-omics research group. For her postdoctoral work, Wei moved to The Rockefeller University and then Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University at Anthony A. Sauve’s laboratory to study signaling networks in mammalian metabolic diseases such as diabetes. She joined the Nature Genetics team in 2017.

Senior Editor: Kyle Vogan
Kyle Vogan (ORCiD) obtained his Ph.D. from McGill University under the supervision of Philippe Gros, using the classical mouse mutants Splotch and Loop-tail to study the genetics of neural tube closure. For his postdoctoral work, he joined Cliff Tabin at Harvard Medical School where he studied the developmental mechanisms underlying vertebrate left-right axis specification. He joined the journal in 2003.
