How Our Bylines Work
Every Gene Matrix article names its author and its medical reviewer, with the review date, directly under the headline. Authors write from their specialty — clinical genetics, laboratory science, or genomic research — and every article is independently reviewed by another member of the medical team before publication.
Our standards are documented in the Editorial Policy and the Medical Review Process.
