Instructions to Authors
Fungal Genetics and Biology is devoted to the publication of investigations of the genetics, cell biology, growth, reproduction, morphogenesis, and differentiation of fungi and their traditional allies. Genetic studies include molecular genetic studies of gene organization and expression, as well as investigations of developmental, cellular, and subcellular processes. The journal especially welcomes studies that employ a combination of experimental approaches to investigate fungal pathogenesis in humans, insects, or plants. The usual prerequisites for publication will be originality, clarity, and significance as relevant to a better understanding of the biology of fungi.
Submission of Manuscripts. Full-length manuscripts only will be accepted. Brief or preliminary reports will no longer be published. Manuscripts must be written in English and should be submitted in quadruplicate (one original and three photocopies), including four sets of good-quality figures, to:

Authors are asked to submit The names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of three to five potential reviewers. There are no submission fees or page charges.
Electronic Submission. Authors are encouraged to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via computer disk, e-mail, or FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc)each time a new version is submitted. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes (fgb@elsevier.com). Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art that exactly match the electronic file must be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully. Complete instructions for electronic artwork submission can be found on the Author Gateway, accessible through the journal home page (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/yfgbi).
Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that no substantial portion of the study has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out. Manuscripts that do not meet the criteria or standards for publication in Fungal Genetics and Biology will be immediately returned to the authors, without detailed review.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Reviews. Fungal Genetics and Biology review articles are usually solicited by the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, or Editorial Board members. However, suggestions and proposals for reviews will be considered.
Preparation of Manuscript. It is important to differentiate between genes and proteins. Therefore, all gene names and loci should be typed in italics. Most recommendations of the Council of Biology Editors should be followed; consult the CBE Style Manual, 6th ed. (Council of Biology Editors, 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814). Nonstandard abbreviations should be defined at their initial appearance and included in a footnote.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch or A4 white paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including telephone and fax numbers and an e-mail address). Authors' home page addresses (URL) may also be provided at the authors' discretion.
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 index descriptors that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible, without subheadings. Materials and methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the experiments to be reproduced. Results and Discussions may be combined and may be organized into subheadings. Acknowledgments should be brief and should precede the references.
References should be cited in the text by name and date. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Please note the following examples.
Gucinski, H., Vance, E., Reiners, W. A., 1995. Potential effects of global climate change. In: Smith, W.K., Hinckley, T.M. (Eds.), Ecophysiology of Coniferous Forests. Academic Press, San Diego, pp. 309-331.
Kramer, P.J., Boyer, J.S., 1995. Water Relations of Plants and Soils. Academic Press, San Diego.
Pedersen, C., Rasmussen, S.W., Giese, H., 2002. A genetic map of Blumeria graminis based on the functional genes, avirulence genes, and molecular markers. Fung. Genet. Biol. 35, 235-246.
Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. Color Figures. One color plate will be published free of charge in each article, provided that color is deemed scientifically necessary by the reviewers and the Editorial Board. Additional color figures will be charged to the author. Mounted color figures must be submitted on paper or flexible board due to the nature of the reproduction process. Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Color figures for exclusive use as cover illustrations may be submitted by authors who are also submitting a manuscript for consideration. These figures do not need to relate to the manuscript being submitted but should relate to the larger scope and focus of Fungal Genetics and Biology.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
DNA Sequences and GenBank Accession Numbers. Authors wishing to enable other scientists to use the accession numbers cited in their papers via links to these sources should type this information in the following manner:
For each and every accession number cited in an article, authors should type the accession number in bold, underlined text. Letters in the accession number should always be capitalized. (See example below.) This combination of letters and format will enable the typesetter to recognize the relevant texts as accession numbers and add the required links to GenBank sequences.
Example: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511,AI632198, and BF223228, a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)."
Authors are encouraged to check accession numbers used very carefully. An error in a letter or number can result in a dead link. In the final version of the printed article, the accession number will not appear bold or underlined. In the final version of the electronic copy, the accession number text will be linked to the appropriate source in the NCBI databases, enabling readers to go directly to that source from the article.
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and proofs should be returned promptly. Authors will be charged for alterations that exceed 10% of the total cost of composition.
Distribution of Material. Authors who publish a research article in Fungal Genetics and Biology should be prepared to freely distribute to academic researchers for their own use any strains, cell products, or DNA clones described in the article. Nucleic acid and protein sequences must be deposited in the appropriate databases.
