Apologies for the light blogging of late. I’ve done a bit of traveling (visiting labs in North Carolina, about which you can read either here or in the print journal in the near future). This was followed closely by a move of our office to a new location in downtown Manhattan, hard by the Holland Tunnel. For those of you who are interested, Nature Genetics shares office space with several other Nature journals, including Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Immunology, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Nature Biotechnology, and Nature Methods. Together with staff for some of the academic journals that Nature Publishing Group turns out, we’re now a pretty sizable operation. Nature Cell Biology, Nature Materials, Nature Physics, and (soon) Nature Nanotechnology are based in London, as are the Nature Review titles, and Nature itself, which also has editors based in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Boston. Our colleagues at Nature Chemical Biology are based in Boston as well. In any case, our move was more or less complete when we were hit by the New York City transit strike. Thankfully, the strike is now over, and life is back to normal (or as normal as it gets in NYC).

We’ll post a few things next week, including a very interesting set of author comments on the recent cavefish paper published in the journal, and then resume regular posting in the New Year.
