Heredity is the official journal of the Genetics Society. It covers a broad range of topics within the field of genetics and therefore papers must address conceptual or applied issues of interest to the journal's wide readership. The journal particularly encourages submissions in the following areas:
- population genetics (including human)
- genomics, functional genomics and proteomics
- evo-devo
- biometrical and statistical genetics
- ecological and evolutionary genetics
- animal and plant breeding
- cytogenetics
Heredity's original articles cover new theory and primary empirical research. The journal also publishes regular reviews and news & commentary articles.
