Genetics Selection Evolution


© all rights reserved
Genetics Selection Evolution (GSE) is an international scientific journal published by BioMed Central Ltd (BMC) on behalf of INRA and its department of Animal Genetics who determines its aims and scope, editorial management and peer-review process.

First published in 1969 as Annales de Génétique et de Sélection Animales, it became GSE in 1983 and remained a subscription-based journal till the end of 2008. Since January 2009, GSE is an open access, peer-reviewed, on-line journal dedicated to presenting original research on all aspects of genetics and selection in both farm and experimental animals and in any related species.

With the vast, recent increase in the amount and spectrum of available genetic data, there is an ever-increasing requirement for the collaboration and successful integration of varied results and techniques in furthering the advancement of the future of animal genetics. GSE focuses on contributing to these developments by providing a high-visibility forum for the dissemination of relevant research and reviews that will prompt new insights and discussions as well as stimulate new research in the field.
 
The journal invites basic, applied and methodological content that will aid the current understanding of animal genetic variability as well as further its use. GSE publishes results from all levels of study, from the gene to the quantitative trait, from the individual to the population, the breed or the species. Material concerning both the biological approach, from molecular genetics to animal sciences, as well as the mathematical one, from population genetics to statistics, is welcome. Specific areas of interest include: gene identification, mapping, QTL and markers, functional genomics, cytogenetics, genetic diversity of populations and breeds, genetic evaluation, applied and experimental selection, statistical genetics.
 
GSE accepts different types of publications:
- Research articles reporting data from original research.
- Reviews that are comprehensive and authoritative descriptions of any subject within the journal’s scope.
- Software articles describing the source code for software applications, tools or algorithm implementations.
 
All articles are listed in PubMed Central immediately upon acceptance (after peer review), and will be covered by MEDLINE, Thomson Reuters (ISI), CAS, CABI and Biosis.
