Cell Genomics is a gold open access journal that provides a high-profile forum for major advances in genetics, genomics and genome technology, and their applications in basic, molecular, biomedical, clinical, and social sciences. Cell Genomics aims to bring together diverse communities in the shared goals of advancing genomics and its impact on biomedical science, precision medicine, and global and ecological health. To this end, Cell Genomics is multidisciplinary in scope, covering the full range of research, resources, methods, and technology involved with characterizing, interpreting, or functionally interrogating genomes. In addition to primary research manuscripts of various lengths and formats, Cell Genomics further facilities cross-community dialogue through the publication of expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on topics of current interest in the field.

Topics covered include but are not limited to: human genetics, cancer genomics, precision medicine, genome technology, single-cell genomics, genome editing, computational genomics, functional genomics, genomes and comparative genomics, agricultural genetics, population and evolutionary genetics, and genetics and society.

Cell Genomics is committed to open science and transparency in the editorial, review, and publishing process to support our community in the advancement of scientific research. We encourage sharing of initial manuscripts through preprint servers, and to facilitate this, we offer a direct submission route from bioRxiv or medRxiv to Cell Genomics. We also encourage rapid sharing of data and software/code, and we require datasets and software/code to be made available with the initial submission to Cell Genomics so that these can be carefully vetted as part of our review process. Cell Genomics is committed to providing authors with a fast, fair, informed, and responsive review process. We offer the option of transparent peer review so that readers are able to follow the editorial and review process from first submission through to publication.
