Frontiers in Genetics: Dive Into Curated Research Topics for ASHG 2025

Frontiers in Genetics presents 10 high-impact Research Topics open for submissions.

Spanning genome editing, bioinformatics, and clinical genetics, these topics are an invitation to researchers to push the boundaries of knowledge and help shape the future of genetics.

These Research Topics have been specially curated to coincide with our participation in the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting (Boston, 14-18 October 2025), a world-leading annual interdisciplinary conference on human genetics and genomics.

Submissions are welcome from conference speakers, attendees, and the wider research community.

Ready to submit? Email us at genetics@frontiers.org with the subject ASHG 2025 RTs to receive submission support and your discount code.
