Welcome to BMC Genetics published by BioMed Central
BMC Genetics is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of inheritance and variation in individuals and among populations.
BMC Genetics (ISSN 1471-2156) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Zoological Record, Thomson Scientific (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Genome-wide detection of copy number variations can be significantly improved by designing an array based on non-polymorphic probes instead of employing SNP genotyping arrays, which hitherto have been used more frequently.
BMC Genetics 2008, 9 :18
An extensive new battery of SNP markers in the Atlantic Cod will enable better management of wild fish stocks and be invaluable for genetic improvement efforts of farmed fish in this economically important species.
BMC Genetics 2007, 8 :86
The new EFBAT software tool extends family-based association tests for complex diseases to include the X-chromosome as well as the autosomes by using a modified network algorithm that can accommodate a number of genetic models.
