Featured Article : Polymorphisms in transcription factor binding sites and enhancer regions and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma risk

In this article, the authors investigated the usefulness of functional annotation of GWAS polymorphisms as a strategy to identify additional risk loci for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Their results provide new insights into genetic risk factors for PDAC by a focused analysis of polymorphisms in regulatory regions and demonstrating the usefulness of functional prioritization to identify loci associated with PDAC risk.

Previous content

Human Genomics launched with BioMed Central in July 2012, transferring from its previous publisher Henry Stewart Publications. All back content is now available in the archive.

Aims and scope

Human Genomics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the application of genomic analysis in all aspects of human health and disease, as well as genomic analysis of drug efficacy and safety, and comparative genomics.

HUGO 2024 Meeting: April

The 2024 Human Genome Organization Meeting will take place in Rome, Italy from April 8-10. More information about the meeting can be found here.

Call for Papers: New Approach Methodologies to Address Population Variability and Susceptibility in Human Risk Assessment

Guest Editors:
Helena Hodberg-Durdock: NIH, USA
Nicole Kleinstreuer: NIH, USA
Kim To: Inotiv, USA

This Collection is focusing on the development and use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) such as in vitro, in silico and small organism models, that address variability or factors associated with susceptibility to adverse effects of chemical exposure.

Call for Papers: Pharmacogenomics Beyond Single Common Genetic Variants

Guest Editor:
Volker M. Lauschke: Karolinska Institutet, Sweden

In this Collection, we invite original research articles, case reports, meta-analyses, and reviews that focus on associations between genetic variability with drug metabolism, response or toxicity. We particularly welcome reports that identify combinatorial variant effects in cis or trans, epigenetic variations, regulation of gene expression by non-coding RNAs as well as polygenic models for drug response and safety predictions.

Call for Papers: Multi-omics approaches to unravel gene-environmental interactions in noncommunicable diseases

Guest Editors:
Tesfaye B. Mersha, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, USA
Daniel Enquobahrie, University of Washington, USA

The purpose of this Collection is to identify and describe developments, challenges and opportunities related to the integration of environmental exposure data with -omics data in population studies.

Call for Papers: Personalized Nutrition and Healthy Living from a Genomic Perspective

Guest Editors:
Anagnostis Argiriou, Institute of Applied Biosciences, Centre for Research and Technology Hellas
Giuseppe Novelli, Department of Biomedicine and Prevention, Tor Vergata University of Rome

Unhealthy diet has been attributed as an important risk factor for the development and progression of chronic non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. Personalized nutrition aims to enhance human health by tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals using lifestyle, genetic, phenotypic, medical, nutritional and other information.

Call for Papers: Mapping the urban wastewater genome towards the understanding of human infectious disease

Despo Fatta-Kassinos, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nireas-International Water Research Center, University of Cyprus

Wastewater surveillance falls within the broad category of environmental surveillance. It can assess the presence or quantity of a chemical or biological signal in a pooled sample of sewage, taken for example from the sewer network or a wastewater treatment plant, to obtain information on various aspects of public health and human behavior. We seek to create a collection of recent studies addressing various key questions in relation to mapping the wastewater genome towards the understanding of human infections disease.
