Diversity in Human Genetics
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Most human genetic studies have been conducted in European populations, and the results often do not transfer well to other populations. This gap in research, particularly on the genetic basis of disease, stands to exacerbate existing health disparities between populations. With this Collection, Nature Communications, Nature Genetics, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports aim to publish research articles based on genetic studies in diverse human populations.
This Collection includes the breadth of human genetics research, including but not limited to complex trait association studies, rare variant studies, population genetics and bioinformatics methods. We will also consider Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments addressing these topics.
This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating journals more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal which they are submitted through. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
