Mission & Scope

Frontiers in Genome Editing is a multidisciplinary journal exploring innovations in, and applications of, genome and epigenome editing technologies within human health, animal science, and plant science. It welcomes research on existing and emerging genome editing technologies and their implications across research, industry, and clinical translation, as well as reviews, opinions, and policy and ethics contributions.

Fields of research include, but are not limited to:

  • genome editing in animals
  • genome editing in cancer and immunology
  • genome editing in human health and disease
  • genome editing in plants
  • genome editing tools and mechanisms

The journal is particularly interested in existing and emerging gene editing technologies including CRISPR/Cas systems, ZFNs, TALENs, and meganucleases, and welcomes submissions that support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being.

The journal is indexed in the Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus, and the DOAJ.

* To qualify for the 20% APC discount, the corresponding author must be a current ISTT member, and membership will be verified by ISTT at the time of submission. This discount cannot be combined with other Frontiers discounts unless approved by Frontiers.
