Gene (journal)

Last updated

History

The journal's first issue was published in 1976 by Elsevier/North-Holland Biomedical Press. Gene was first intended to focus on recombination processes of genes and the properties of reconstructed genes and genomes, according to a letter written by Waclaw Szybalski in the first issue. [2] Over the years, subspecialized publications on human and plant genetics, as well as a companion journal Gene Reports, which focuses on the regulation, expression, and evolution of genes and genetic material across a broad range of biological contexts have been split off.
