近一個世紀以來，Hereditas發表了最初的前沿研究和評論。 作為孟德爾隆德學會的官方期刊，該期刊歡迎來自遺傳學和基因組學所有領域的研究。 感興趣的主題包括人類和醫學遺傳學，動植物遺傳學，微生物遺傳學，農業和生物信息學。 關于新型病毒序列或在基因組研究中使用新技術和軟件的文章也受到歡迎。

For almost a century, Hereditas has published original cutting-edge research and reviews. As the Official journal of the Mendelian Society of Lund, the journal welcomes research from across all areas of genetics and genomics. Topics of interest include human and medical genetics, animal and plant genetics, microbial genetics, agriculture and bioinformatics. Articles covering novel viral sequences or the use of new technology and software in genomic research are also welcomed.
