Special
Call for Papers
Physiological Genomics
Topic: Computational Modeling of Physiological
Systems
Physiological Genomics is soliciting original research papers in
the area of computational modeling of physiological systems. It is
acknowledged that in the coming years, computational modeling and analysis
will play a critical role in deciphering large-scale data and developing a
systems understanding of biological systems. In particular, the journal is
interested in studies that use computational analyses in the context of gene
function in physiological systems.
Topic: Comparative Genomics
Physiological Genomics seeks original research articles, reviews
(mini- or full-length), and editorials in the field of comparative genomics.
Research in this field is changing dramatically due to the large amount of
sequence being generated from a number of key organisms and the likelihood
that many additional species will be sequenced in the future. Papers may
detail genetic comparisons across species to identify gene structure,
predict the physiological function of genes, and elucidate evolutionary
relationships. Papers may also describe comparative approaches to structural
genomics or research strategies that can be used to facilitate sequencing in
other closely related species. Other appropriate topics include studies in
comparative physiology that take advantage of commonalities between
particular organisms at the genomic level, pharmacogenomics, proteomics,
bioinformatics/computational biology, and translational research.
Submissions in this area will be published, if they are accepted pending
peer review, under a special banner in the online and print versions of the
journal. When corresponding authors submit their manuscript online, they
should indicate their response to this call for papers in an accompanying
cover letter and designate their specific Manuscript Type as "Special Call
for Papers." For any specific queries please contact the
Editor-in-Chief, Allen W. Cowley, Jr. (E-mail: pgeditor@mcw.edu).
