AAPS invites authors to submit papers to a Theme Issue of its new electronic journal, AAPS PharmSci, on the general topic of Pharmacogenitics - Pharmacogenomics.. Manuscripts are invited from the broad range of topics including:

1) Genetic basis of variability in drug response;
2) Polymorphisms of receptors, enzymes, and transporters;
3) Phenotyping tissues for drug effects;
4) Detection of polymorphisms;
5) Genome-wide mapping of single nucleotide polymorphisms in drug trials;
6) Genes conferring disease susceptibility and/or sensitivity to drug therapy;
7) DNA microarray technology;
8) Genomics, proteomics, cellomics;
9) Cloning genes relevant to drug effects;
10) Clinical drug studies involving pharmacogenetics - pharmacogenomics;
11) Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and genetic variations;
12) Pharmacogenomics in drug discovery and development;
13) Genomics of microorganisms and viruses related to drug treatment;
14) Incidence of adverse drug effects in relation to genetic variationsl;
15) Pharmacoepidemiology;
16) Pharmacoeconomics.

Theme Issues will be separately advertised to target audiences, to enhance the impact of papers submitted under a common umbrella.

Papers will be accepted by e-mail attachment to  or by disk to the AAPS Editorial office (see  Instructions to Authors) Manuscripts will undergo an expedited review by two experts to determine suitability for publication.  Manuscripts will be published immediately following acceptance in this theme issue volume of AAPS PharmSci; the paper will also appear in the regular monthly issue of AAPS PharmSci as an alternative entry point for our readers.
