BMC Medical Genomics is an open access peer-reviewed journal that provides global visibility to all aspects of genomic research in relation to human health and disease. Areas covered include the application of functional genomics, genome structure and population genomics, epigenomics, proteomics and pharmacogenomics, and novel bioinformatics methods on medical data. Topics include, but are not limited to, immunogenomics, infectious disease, cancer genomics, microbiome, neurogenomics, clinical genomics, and precision medicine.
As a BMC Series journal, BMC Medical Genomics does not make editorial decisions based on the perceived interest or potential impact of a study. Manuscripts are considered for publication if they are scientifically valid. For research articles, this includes having a clearly defined and sound research question, appropriate methodology and analysis, and adherence to community-agreed standards relevant to the field.

Read MoreA brief comparison of polygenic risk scores and Mendelian randomisation
Mendelian randomisation and polygenic risk score analysis have become increasingly popular in the last decade due to the advent of large-scale genome-wide association studies. Each approach has valuable applications, some of which are overlapping, yet there are important differences which we describe here.
Understanding the impact of climate change and exploring potential solutions to this global threat is more important than ever. Here we share recent highlights from the BMC Series journals.
