Special
Call for Papers
Physiological Genomics
Topic: Functional Analysis of Sequence Variation
Physiological Genomics is soliciting manuscript
submissions that focus on the analysis of the functional implications of
genomic sequence variation. Papers that are responsive to this call can be
in any category but will focus on methods and/or research studies that aim
to attach physiological relevance to alterations in genes or proteins.
Studies should attempt to attach significance to genome deletions,
duplications, and single nucleotide polymorphisms and may be undertaken in
humans or model organisms, in vitro or in vivo. Theoretical approaches to
analysis of sequence variation will also be considered responsive.
Topic: Technology Development for Physiological
Genomics
Physiological Genomics is soliciting manuscript
submissions that describe the development and/or use of novel technologies
in physiological genomics research. It is well recognized that the
application of innovative technology has been of major importance to
advancements in this field. The early years of this journal coincided with
the development of genome-wide techniques and the initial entry of
physiologists into the discipline of genomics. The journal has historically
published articles that deal with microarray analysis and has led the way in
helping to define standards for experiments and publication of microarray
results. Physiological Genomics is now interested in embracing the
opportunities created by the emergence of new disciplines such as
proteomics, metabolomics, next-generation sequencing, modeling, and systems
approaches and desires to provide an outlet for studies that explore novel
methodologies in these and other fields that will become part of the
accepted toolbox of future physiologists.
The “Innovative Methodology” article type is especially
well suited to this sort of publication although submissions in all
categories will be considered.
Topic: Computational Modeling of Physiological
Systems
Physiological Genomics is soliciting original research papers in
the area of computational modeling of physiological systems. It is
acknowledged that in the coming years, computational modeling and analysis
will play a critical role in deciphering large-scale data and developing a
systems understanding of biological systems. In particular, the journal is
interested in studies that use computational analyses in the context of gene
function in physiological systems.
