The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Botany and Genome. Chromosome, Locus (genetics), Phylogenetic tree, Allele and Mitochondrial DNA are all topics related to Genetics research discussed. Common wheat is part of Chromosome studies tackled in Genes & Genetic Systems.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Phylogenetic tree, apply to Phylogenetics as well. In the Gene research discussed, Mutant, Gene expression, Regulation of gene expression, Phenotype and Exon are all tackled. The concepts on Mutant presented in Genes & Genetic Systems can also apply to other research fields, including Mutation and Cell biology.
The research on Molecular biology discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of DNA.
The journal publications tackle a plethora of topics, such as Genetics, Gene, Botany, Genome and Phylogenetic tree. The study on Genetics presented in the most cited papers is investigated in conjunction with research in Molecular biology. The most cited publications tackle studies in Phylogenetics and the interrelated subject of Zoology to gain insights into Phylogenetic tree.
The journal investigates areas of study like Gene, Genetic diversity, Mutant, Genetics and Evolutionary biology. The studies on Gene discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Computational biology and Function (biology). In Genes & Genetic Systems, Zoology, Microsatellite, Genetic variation and Haplotype are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Genetic diversity research.
Issues in Mutant were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Melanocortin 1 receptor and Frameshift mutation. The studies in Genetics featured incorporate elements of Coat and Lightness. The work on Evolutionary biology tackled in it brings together disciplines like Phylogenetics, Monophyly and Phylogenetic tree.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Genes & Genetic Systems (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Genes & Genetic Systems (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 52.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.52% of all publications and 23.81% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Studying Biology and Biochemistry in the USA opens doors to a variety of exciting career paths and further educational opportunities. Many students explore complementary fields to enhance their expertise and job prospects. For those interested in mental health, pursuing child psychologist masters programs or online masters programs for counseling provide valuable avenues to combine scientific knowledge with clinical practice.
Additionally, graduates aiming to enter healthcare management roles can consider an health administration degree, which offers skills for effective organizational leadership in healthcare settings. This degree complements a biology background by providing a broader understanding of healthcare systems and policies.
Biology majors themselves have a wide range of well-paying job options. Careers applying biology directly, from research to environmental science, are highlighted in the overview of biology degree jobs. Whether pursuing hands-on laboratory roles or interdisciplinary fields, these career pathways reflect the versatility of a biology or biochemistry education.
