轉基因研究的重點是轉基因和基因組編輯高等生物。強烈鼓勵重視生物技術應用的手稿。知識產權，道德問題，社會影響和監管方面也屬于該雜志的范圍。轉基因研究的目的是為植物和動物學術界及相關產業社區架起分子生物學和生物技術的基礎科學和應用科學之間的橋梁。

Transgenic Research focusses on transgenic and genome edited higher organisms. Manuscripts emphasizing biotechnological applications are strongly encouraged. Intellectual property, ethical issues, societal impact and regulatory aspects also fall within the scope of the journal. Transgenic Research aims to bridge the gap between fundamental and applied science in molecular biology and biotechnology for the plant and animal academic and associated industry communities.
