統(tǒng)計應用在遺傳學和分子生物學中尋求發(fā)表重要的研究，應用統(tǒng)計思想解決計算生物學中出現(xiàn)的問題。這些文件的重點應放在有關的統(tǒng)計問題上，但應包括對正在審議的有關生物問題的簡明描述。主題范圍廣泛，將包括連鎖圖譜、關聯(lián)研究、基因發(fā)現(xiàn)和序列比對、蛋白質(zhì)結構預測、微陣列數(shù)據(jù)的設計和分析、分子進化和系統(tǒng)發(fā)育樹、DNA拓撲結構和數(shù)據(jù)庫搜索策略等主題。原創(chuàng)研究和評論文章將受到熱烈歡迎。

Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology seeks to publish significant research on the application of statistical ideas to problems arising from computational biology. The focus of the papers should be on the relevant statistical issues but should contain a succinct description of the relevant biological problem being considered. The range of topics is wide and will include topics such as linkage mapping, association studies, gene finding and sequence alignment, protein structure prediction, design and analysis of microarray data, molecular evolution and phylogenetic trees, DNA topology, and data base search strategies. Both original research and review articles will be warmly received.
