As of January 2000, Developmental Genetics was renamed and relaunched as genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development, with a new scope and editorial board. The journal focuses on the genetics of development and fundamental embryological research resulting from landmark studies in animals and plants that are redefining the field as it moves into the next millennium. genesis presents articles, letters, correspondence, and state-of-the-art technology reports that promote an understanding of the function of genes and the roles they play in complex biological processes, both alone and in combination. genesis welcomes contributions using non-traditional animal and plant systems.
Benefits to publishing in genesis--

Formats
genesis publishes both short (Letters, Technology Reports) and long (Articles) research communications. There is no hierarchy for these two alternative forms of presentation. Authors may find that one particular format is better suited to the presentation of their data.
Letters
These are succinct reports whose text is limited to 1,600 words (excluding Figure Legends, References and Methods) and four to six display items (figures and tables). Letters include in order, Title, Abstract, Text, Methods, References, Acknowledgments, Tables, Figure Legends. There is a single paragraph abstract of up to 150 words. The text has no subheadings. Up to 30 references may be cited.
Articles
Articles including all text, references and figure legends should not exceed 8,000 words plus 4 page equivalents of figures and tables. Articles include in order, Title, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods, References, Acknowledgments, Tables, Figure Legends. There is a single paragraph abstract of up to 150 words. Results should include sub-headings.
Technology Reports
These are succinct reports that focus upon technology development and developmental genetics resources. Technology Reports will follow the same format as Letters.
STYLE
Titles
Titles should not exceed 90 characters (including spaces), and should not include numbers, acronyms, abbreviations or punctuation (other than a colon if essential).
Methods
Methods should be subdivided by short, bold headings referring to the methods used. The Methods section should not normally exceed 800 words and ideally should be shorter.

References should be cited in the text by author and year in brackets. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. Only articles that are published or in press may be cited. When citing personal communications, list all names, including initials and cite them in the text, not the reference section. If several papers by the same author in the same year are cited, they should be lettered in sequence 1999a, 1999b, etc. Abbreviations of journal titles should conform to those of Index Medicus. List References alphabetically at the end of the paper without serial numbering. The following form of citation should be used, including the complete title of each paper or book and inclusive pages:
Journal articles:
King VM, Armstrong DM, Apps R, Trott JR. 1998. Numerical aspects of pontine, lateral reticular, and inferior olivary projections to two paravermal cortical zones of the cat cerebellum. J Comp Neurol 390:537-551.
Books:
Voet D, Voet JG. 1990. Biochemistry. New York: John Wiley & Sons. 1223 p.
Chapters in books:
Gilmor ML, Rouse ST, Heilman CJ, Nash NR, Levey AI. 1998. Receptor fusion proteins and analysis. In: Ariano MA, editor. Receptor localization. New York: Wiley-Liss. p 75-90.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments are brief. genesis does not publish grant or contribution numbers, or thanks to anonymous referees and editors, or effusive comments. Letters and Articles contain a statement after the acknowledgements: 慍orrespondence and requests for materials should be addressed to xxxxx? with one e-mail address.
Tables
Tables should each be presented on a separate page of the same size and orientation as the rest of the contribution.
- Upright roman (not bold) type of the same size as the rest of the text is used, with a brief, one-line title in bold.
- The body of the table should not contain horizontal or vertical rules; these will be added by genesis when necessary after the paper has been accepted for publication.
- Symbols and abbreviations are defined immediately below the table, followed by essential descriptive material, all in double-spaced text.
Figures
Figures divided into parts should be labeled with a lower-case, bold a , b , and so on, in the same typesize as used elsewhere in the figure.
Figure legends. Each figure legend should begin with a brief title for the whole figure and continue with a short description of each panel and the symbols used; it should not contain any details of methods, and should not normally exceed 100 words.
Color illustrations. Free color pages are available at the editors' discretion. All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to authors. Authors are encouraged to submit color illustrations that highlight the text and convey essential scientific information. For best reproduction, bright, clear colors should be used. Dark colors against a dark background do not reproduce well; please place your color images against a white background wherever possible.
