BMC Genomic Data, previously known as BMC Genetics, is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that welcomes submissions that describe genomic and genetic research data, report new analyses of genomic data and introduce community databases. We promote open science through the sharing of data.
BMC Genomic Data does not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.

BMC Genomic Data publishes a range of articles that describe genomic datasets and genomic analyses. These are peer reviewed by experts in the field. We welcome articles that include analyses or meta-analyses of existing data, and original articles on databases or other technologies that advance data sharing and reuse to support reproducible research. As a supporter of the FAIR Data principles, release of data in one or more public, community-recognized repositories is a condition of publication.
