Chromosome Research publishes manuscripts from work based on all organisms and encourages submissions in the following areas including, but not limited, to:· Chromosomes and their linkage to diseases;· Chromosome organization within the nucleus;· Chromatin biology (transcription, non-coding RNA, etc);· Chromosome structure, function and mechanics;· Chromosome and DNA repair;· Epigenetic chromosomal functions (centromeres, telomeres, replication, imprinting,dosage compensation, sex determination, chromosome remodeling);· Architectural/epigenomic organization of the genome;· Functional annotation of the genome;· Functional and comparative genomics in plants and animals;· Karyology studies that help resolve difficult taxonomic problems or that provideclues to fundamental mechanisms of genome and karyotype evolution in plants and animals;· Mitosis and Meiosis;· Cancer cytogenomics.
