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 provide

clues to fundamental mechanisms of genome and karyotype evolution in plants and animals;

· Mitosis and Meiosis;

· Cancer cytogenomics.
