A peer-reviewed, open-access journal for research that designs, modifies and models genetic material, from genome editing and recombinant DNA to synthetic biology, gene therapy and the quantitative study of heredity.

JGE publishes original research, reviews and methods across the design, modification and analysis of genes and genomes. The areas below are illustrative; work that advances genetic engineering in other ways is also welcome.
CRISPR-Cas systems, base and prime editing, TALENs and zinc finger nucleases, repair pathways, specificity and delivery.
Cloning, vector design, DNA assembly, gene transfer and recombinant protein expression.
Gene circuits, biosensors, metabolic pathway engineering and minimal or synthetic genomes.
Viral and non-viral delivery, ex vivo and in vivo approaches, engineered cells and RNA therapeutics.
Engineered crops, animals and microorganisms for food, bioproduction and bioremediation.
Bioinformatics, design algorithms and quantitative models of genetic and population processes.
Risk assessment, regulation, dual-use oversight and the societal questions genetic engineering raises.
Articles published in the journal, newest first. Each has a Crossref DOI and is free to read under the CC BY 4.0 license.
