The top ten charts the articles that have been downloaded most often, in PDF format, from the Heredity website in recent weeks. The chart does not rank the quality, scientific significance or citation impact of the content. However, it may bring articles to your attention that you might not have otherwise noticed. We hope you enjoy them.
