Genome Medicine: New Journal from Biomed Central

I added Genome Medicine Journal to the new free medical information tracking tool of Webicina, PeRSSonalized Medicine yesterday so it’s time to say a few words about it.

Genome Medicine is an online peer-reviewed journal which publishes open access research articles of outstanding quality in all areas of medicine studied from a genomic or post-genomic perspective. The journal will have a special focus on the latest technologies and findings that impact on the understanding and management of human health and disease.

In addition to publishing high-quality research, Genome Medicine serves the international research community as a forum for the discussion and critical review of information about all areas of medicine informed by genomic research.

Subjects include, but are not limited to:

• Significant advances in the understanding of the genetics, genomics, and epigenetics of disease
• Computational and systems approaches, including proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics, to the understanding and management of disease
• Genomic epidemiology and public health genomics
• The application of genomic and post-genomic technologies to clinical practice, with special emphasis on diagnostics and therapeutics
• Personalized medicine
• Ethical, social and legal issues relating to genomic medicine and personalized medicine

This is the journal that provides content I feel totally close to my heart. So why you should follow it? It has an illustrious editorial board and some incredibly interesting articles such as:

• Genome Medicine: medical progress in the post-genomic era
• Direct-to-consumer genetic tests: beyond medical regulation?
• Systems pharmacology and genome medicine: a future perspective

Just to mention a few examples.
