Investigative Genetics is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal, which publishes articles on the development and application of molecular genetics in a wide range of science disciplines with societal relevance. These include forensic issues and legal medicine, evolutionary, anthropological and historical studies, as well as epidemiology and biosafety.

Investigative Genetics aims to provide a venue for novel, cutting-edge research and technological developments that will, through the application of molecular genetics, answer questions of past and present life, enhance life quality, and provide a safer living environment.

Main areas of interest include:

  • forensic genetics
  • biosafety and biosecurity
  • legal medicine
  • genetic epidemiology
  • identity and lineage testing
  • personalized genetics
  • population genetics
  • evolutionary genetics
  • mechanisms of inheritance
  • ancient biomaterials
  • anthropological genetics
  • archaeogenetics
In addition, articles addressing the important issues of statistics, validity, reliability, and ethics related to the use and understanding of genetics will be published.

Investigative Genetics is a journal that reflects the breadth of molecular genetic research, development and validation and its application to the greater understanding and safety of our society. The journal bridges the gap between different areas of science that similarly exploit molecular genetics, allowing findings and developments to be disseminated efficiently and effectively among disciplines. Suitable articles are hypothesis-driven and apply, if appropriate, statistical principles; purely descriptive studies are of limited interest.
