About the journal
Aims and Scope
Comparative and Functional Genomics is a new journal, in print and electronic formats, which contains original research articles and long and short reviews that deal with the post-sequencing phases of genome analysis.
The journal will provide a broad forum, covering studies of complex and model organisms. Research exploiting model organisms with fully sequenced genomes to understand gene function in more complex organisms will also fall under the remit of this journal.
Papers presenting bioinformatic and computational tools for the study of gene and genome organisation will also be welcomed, and the electronic format of the journal will enable the presentation of the large data sets commonly involved in these studies.
Comparative and Functional Genomics will also accept articles covering the application of functional genomics in an industrial context, such as pharmacogenomics and genomics-based drug target identification methods.
All aspects of the systematic analysis of gene function are within the scope of the journal, but novel methods will only be published separately when they are of proven efficacy and/or general applicability.
Instructions to Authors
Comparative and Functional Genomics publishes original research articles, reviews and short communications on post-sequencing phases of genome analysis, and comparative genomics in particular.
Initial Manuscript Submission. Submit three copies of the manuscript (including sets of tables and illustrations) to:
The Editorial Office, Comparative and Functional Genomics, School of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester, 2.205 Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT, UK. e-mail: cfg@wiley.co.uk
Authors must also supply:
- an electronic copy of the final version (see section below),
- a Copyright Transfer Agreement with original signature(s) - without this we are unable to accept the submission, and
- permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form. Permission grants should be submitted with the manuscript.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration by Wiley. Submitted material will not be returned to the author unless specifically requested.
Authors may provide the Editor with the names and addresses of up to three suitably qualified scientists of international standing who would be competent to referee the work, although the Editor will not be bound by any such nomination.
Authors in Japan please note: Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English in their paper BEFORE SUBMISSION. Please contact Masayo Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by e-mail (editorial@wiley.co.jp) or Fax (03-3556-9763) for more information, stating which Wiley journal you wish to submit to.
Electronic submission. The electronic copy of the final, revised manuscript must be sent to the Editor together with the paper copy. Disks should be PC or Mac formatted; write on the disk the software package used, the name of the author and the name of the journal. We are able to use most word processing packages, but prefer Word or WordPerfect
Illustrations must be submitted in electronic format where possible. Save each figure as a separate file, in TIFF or EPS format preferably, and include the source file. Write on the disk the software package used to create them; we favour dedicated illustration packages over tools such as Excel or Powerpoint.
Manuscript style. The language of the journal is English. All submissions including book reviews must have a title.
- The Text must be 12 point, double spaced, have a margin of 3cm all round and be printed on one side of the paper.
- Illustrations and tables must be printed on separate sheets, and not be incorporated in to the text.
- The title page must list the full title, short title of up to 70 characters and names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including email, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs.
- Supply an abstract of up to 250 words for all articles [except book reviews]. An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work.
- Include up to eight keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes.
- Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
- Short communications should not exceed 2500 words.
- Short communications should be informative and contain a single message, which is made as clear as possible to all readers.
The text should generally be divided into: Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results and Discussion. Please avoid section numbering.
Major reviews will be commissioned, but minor reviews and original research papers are solicited, together with any other reports, letters or announcements of potential interest to the readers of the journal. There is no restriction on length, although manuscripts may be returned for shortening at the discretion of the editor.
Books for review and commercial literature should be sent to Professor S. Oliver.
Nomenclature
When using genetic nomenclature authors should follow the following organism specific guidelines:
Nucleic Acid Sequences. Any sequence information included in a manuscript MUST be submitted to either the EMBL data library or GenBank, and the Accession Number included at the end of the Abstract section, before the paper will be published. At the time of submission any sequence data MUST be submitted on a floppy disk in addition to any hard copy included in the manuscript.
Abbreviations. All abbreviations must be defined in full in the first instance.
Reference style.
- References should be quoted in the text as name and year and listed at the end of the paper alphabetically.
- For journal references, if there are more than six authors, list the first three plus et al.
- URLs should be indicated in bold type in the text and listed alphabetically by their common name, amongst the references.
For Reviews, references should be cited by number in the text. The reference list should be ordered alphabetically and numbered in sequence. Hence references in the text will not be in numerical sequence. All references must be complete and accurate. Online citations should include date of access. Use MedLine abbreviations for journal names. They can be found at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/jbrowser.cgi.. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text but do not include it in the reference list. References should be listed in the following style:

Dolinski K, Ball CA, Chervitz, SA, et al. 1998. Expanding Yeast Knowledge Online. Yeast 14: 1453-1469. |
| Chapter in a book: |
Stein LD. 1998. Of mice and men: navigating public physical mapping databases. In Bioinformatics, Baxevanis AD, Ouellette BFF (eds). John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: New York; 268-298. |
| Book: |
Cantor CR, Smith CL. 1999. Genomics. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: New York; 434. |
Illustrations. Supply each illustration on a separate sheet, with the lead author's name and the figure number, with the top of the figure indicated, on the reverse. Supply original photographs - photocopies or previously printed material will not be used. Line artwork must be high-quality laser output (not photocopies). Lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible upon reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Tints are not acceptable; variations of hatching style are strongly preferred over different shades of grey when filling areas. Where a key to symbols is required, please include this in the artwork itself, not in the figure legend. Supply artwork at the intended size for printing. The artwork must be sized to the text width of 76mm to fit a single column and 156mm to fit a double column.
The cost of printing colour illustrations in the journal will be charged to the author. If colour illustrations are supplied electronically in either TIFF or EPS format, they may be used in the PDF of the article at no cost to the author, even if this illustration was printed in black and white in the journal. The PDF will appear on the Wiley InterScience site.
Copyright. To enable the publisher to disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent, the author must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement, transferring copyright in the article from the author to the publisher, and submit the original signed agreement with the article presented for publication. A copy of the agreement to be used (which may be photocopied) can be found in the first issue of each volume of Yeast. Copies may also be obtained from the journal editor or publisher, or may be printed from this website.
Further Information. Proofs will be sent to the author for checking. This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process. Prompt return of the corrected proofs, preferably within two days of receipt, will minimise the risk of the paper being held over to a later issue. 25 complimentary offprints plus one complimentary journal issue will be provided to the author who checked the proofs, unless otherwise indicated. Further offprints and copies of the journal may be ordered. There is no page charge to authors (unless colour has been used - see above).
Linking to Genomic Databases. Authors are encouraged to submit DNA, genetic and protein database information with their manuscript for the databases listed below and a hypertext link will appear in the online version of the article, via Wiley Interscience.
Genbank
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)
Entrez Genomes
Entrez Proteins
The Genome Database (GDB)
Onine Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
Protein Databank (PDB)
Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB)
To create hypertext links authors must supply the gene (or other subject) name as it appears in the article, the database where the record appears, and the database specific identification number or name. Please follow the instructions in the Database Linking Submittal Form, and submit a copy of the form with your manuscript.
It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that the database information that is provided with the manuscript is correct and up to date. The publisher will not submit new information to the databases. Incorrect information will result in the omission of hypertext links in the article.
For those articles containing gene and protein sequence information with a corresponding database record (see list of databases) hyperlinked database queries will be added to the online version for the full-text HTML version of the journal. The hypertext links will appear in the Special Content Links section of the Abstract page.
