I'm pleased to announce the launch of Genetics and Epigenetics, an open access peer reviewed journal published by Libertas Academica. The journal is fortunate to have the support of an excellent Editor in Chief, Dr Christian Bronner, and an internationally respected editorial board. An interview with the Editor in Chief will be published shortly.

The Editor in Chief writes:

I proudly announce the launch of Genetics & Epigenetics, a new peer-reviewed open-access journal published by Libertas Academica. Epigenetics is beginning to take shape as a new scientific discipline, which will have profound impact on our understanding of genetics.

Epigenetics and genetics have deeply improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms occurring in several pathologies such as cancer, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases and allergy as well as in physiologic processes such as development. The frontier between genetics and epigenetics is beginning to disappear as these two disciplines are becoming more and more complementary to each other. Hence, the journal goal is to facilitate this disappearance by publishing works of high quality that are at the cutting-edge of these two fields. As knowledge’s in the field of Genetics and Epigenetics are rapidly and dramatically increasing, Genetics and Epigenetics offers both fast reviewing and rapid open access of manuscripts after acceptance. One of the priorities of the journal is to decrease the time from manuscript submission to article publication.

I look forward to working with the journal's Editor in Chief, editorial board and authors and readers.
