One of the world's foremost in its field, Annals publishes fully refereed papers of international authorship that contribute to existing knowledge in all fields of clinical biochemistry, especially that pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It also publishes papers on immunology, genetics, biotechnology, haematology, computing and management where they have both biochemical and clinical relevance.

The Annals of Human Genetics is an international journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research. The principal aim of the Annals is to increase understanding of the biology of human variation, both in disease and in health. In recent years it has become apparent that the study of population genetics is extremely relevant to molecular pathology. The interaction of these fields can greatly increase our understanding of the generation and maintenance of variation in the human genome. The major topics covered in the Annals include:- Human genome variation - its evolution and implications for human biology. Interpretations of the current or future state of the human genome sequence are also welcomed. Human population genetics - including studies which elucidate human history, our understanding of chromosome evolution, and the geographic distribution of particular diseases, worldwide. The journal will also consider studies on primate populations. Statistical genetics - the application and improvement of mathematical approaches for analysis of genetic data, including linkage and association mapping of genes and QTLs. The journal also welcomes papers focussing on more general bioinformatic approaches. Genetics of common multifactorial diseases and other complex traits and QTLs - in general we expect these to be human but relevant animal models will also be considered. Mendelian disorders and their molecular pathology - the emphasis will again be on human disease but animal models or in vitro work may also be considered. In each of these areas we welcome high quality articles providing original data and/or analysis, and also methodological papers, preferably including application to real data. Large datasets and additional material can be stored and made easily available through the journal web site. An absolute requirement of all papers will be that a general reader of the journal can understand from the summary of the paper what problem the authors are trying to solve. Most articles published will be full-length research papers, and in each issue we aim to have at least one review article. Reviews are generally invited, but suggestions are very welcome and preliminary enquiries should be directed to the Reviews Editor, Steve Humphries. Short communications will also be considered if of sufficient interest.

Published on behalf of the New York Academy of Sciences, Annals provide multidisciplinary perspectives on research of current scientific interest with far-reaching implications for the wider scientific community and society at large. Scope, although concentrated on biological and medical sciences, extends into fields as diverse as astronomy, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Each publication assembles the best thinking of key contributors to a field of investigation at a time when emerging developments offer the promise of new insight. These volumes stimulate new ways to think about science by providing a neutral forum for discourse - within and across many institutions and fields.

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (ARD) is an international peer review journal committed to promoting the highest standards of scientific exchange and education. It covers all aspects of rheumatology, which includes the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, arthritic disease, and connective tissue disorders. ARD publishes basic, clinical, and translational scientific research. Concise scientific communication is encouraged and peer reviewed proceedings of international meetings are featured. Educational papers include state of the art reviews, "how to" articles and educational cases that focus on problems faced in clinical practice. The journal was first published in 1939 and has an authorative global Editorial Board and a growing international readership.

The Annual Review of Biochemistry, in publication since 1932, sets the standard for review articles in biological chemistry and molecular biology. Since its inception, these volumes have served as an indispensable resource for both the practicing biochemist and students of biochemistry.

The Annual Review of Biophysics, in publication since 1972, covers significant developments in the field of Biophysics, including Macromolecular Structure, Function and Dynamics, Theoretical and Computational Biophysics, Molecular Biophysics of the Cell, Physical Systems Biology, Membrane Biophysics, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, and Emerging Techniques.

The Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, in publication since 1985, covers the most significant developments in the field of Cell and Developmental Biology, including structure, function, and organization of the cell, development and evolution of the cell as it relates to single and multicellular organisms, and models and tools of molecular biology.

The Annual Review of Genetics, in publication since 1967, covers significant developments in the field of genetics. These include biochemical, behavioral, cell, and developmental genetics; evolutionary and population genetics; chromosome structure and transmission; gene function and expression; mutation and repair; genomics; immunogenetics; and other topics as related to the genetics of viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, including humans.

The Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, in publication since 2000, covers significant developments in the field of genomics as they apply to human genetics and the human genome. We have particular interest in the areas of genomic technology, genome structure and function, genetic modification, human variation and population genetics, human evolution and, importantly, all aspects of human genetic disease and including individualized medicine.

The Annual Review of Medicine, in publication since 1950, covers significant developments in various fields of Medicine, including AIDS/HIV, cardiology, clinical pharmacology, dermatology, endocrinology/metabolism, gastroenterology, genetics, immunology, infectious disease, neurology, oncology/hematology, pediatrics, psychiatry, pulmonology, reproductive medicine, and surgery.
