Physiological Genomics is soliciting manuscripts that focus on efforts to use biomarkers to understand the mechanisms of disease. Efforts in the biomarker discovery that have focused primarily on diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring have been less successful than hoped in large part because of incomplete understanding of disease mechanism under investigation. Studies in the areas of genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic biomarker discovery of are particular interest. Contributions that illustrate the opportunities, problems, novel experimental and analysis approaches, and provide solutions that demonstrate the ability of these technologies to address problems in cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and disease physiology would be particularly welcome.
