Russian Journal of Genetics is a journal intended to make significant contribution to the development of genetics. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers in the areas of theoretical and applied genetics. It presents fundamental research on genetic processes at molecular, cell, organism, and population levels, including problems of the conservation and rational management of genetic resources and the functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and medical genetics.PEER REVIEWRussian Journal of Genetics is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. Our team of reviewers includes over 600 reviewers, both internal and external (90%), from 9 countries. The average period from submission to first decision in 2017 was 5 days, and that from first decision to acceptance was 14 days. The rejection rate for submitted manuscripts in 2017 was 34%.
