Featured review: Making sense of GWAS
Considerable progress towards an understanding of complex diseases has been made in recent
years due to the development of high-throughput genotyping technologies. Using microarrays
that contain millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), Genome Wide Association
Studies (GWASs) have identified SNPs that are associated with many complex diseases or traits.

Aims and scope
Epigenetics & Chromatin is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes research, and
reviews, providing novel insights into epigenetic inheritance and chromatin-based interactions.
The journal aims to understand how gene and chromosomal elements are regulated and their
activities maintained during processes such as cell division, differentiation and environmental
alteration.
Efficient peer review
Rapid: our Editors-in-Chief maintain an average time from submission to a first decision of 21
days.
Expedited: we recognise that scientifically sound, high quality manuscripts are often turned
away from broad-scope "high-impact" journals based on the issue of "general interest." As a
specialist journal, Epigenetics & Chromatin will consider rapid publication of such manuscripts
if they are submitted together with the original peer reviewer reports, letter of rejection, and a
brief rebuttal.
Journal Authority Factor = 111.5
The Journal Authority Factor (JAF) is the average h-index of a journal’s senior editors. The JAF
thus complements the Impact Factor by providing a measure of the experience of journal editors
as practicing scientists and authors. All manuscripts submitted to Epigenetics & Chromatin are
evaluated by the Editors-in-Chief, who also recommend reviewers, evaluate reviews and make
all decisions regarding acceptance, revision or rejection. Our JAF of 111.5 compares favorably
with that of academic society journals, such as PNAS (59.9), and professionally edited journals,
such as Nature (6.5).
