JGG publishes papers in English only and distributed internationally.
AIMS AND SCOPE
JGG publishes original research of special significance in all areas of genetics and genomics. JGG encompasses experimental and theoretical approaches in all organisms, including microbes, plants, animals and human. Research published in JGG should be of general interest for biologists. The article types include research article, research report and review.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Before initiating the submission process, these instructions for Authors should be reviewed in full to ensure that the article is in compliance with JGG standards.
Authors should submit manuscripts online at http://www.jgenetgenomics.org/. The Elsevier Editorial System (EES) will prompt authors through the process. Online submission will ensure rapid handling of your paper. A manuscript file in Microsoft Word (or some other word processing format) is required and will be automatically converted to a PDF.
Authorship Contribution to a manuscript must be substantive in order to justify authorship. An author is responsible for major aspects of the research that is presented. All other contributors should instead be acknowledged appropriately in the Acknowledgments section. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all authors have made substantive contributions to the research and have seen and approved the manuscript in final form prior to submission.
Cover letter A cover letter must be submitted along with the manuscript, stating that the manuscript has been read and approved in final form by all authors. Authors should ensure that the manuscritp has not been submitted for publication elsewhere. If authors wish to request exclusion of any reviewers, specific reasons must be provided. We recommend that authors also explain briefly how their work meets the journal's scope.
Language-Editing Services Prior to submission, authors who believe their manuscripts would benefit from professional editing are encouraged to use language-editing services, such as the ones described at the following web sites: www.prof-editing.com, www.bostonbioedit.com, www.internationalscienceediting.com , www.asiascienceediting.com, www.biosciencewriters.com, www.biomeditor.com, www.oleng.com.au, www.bioedit.co.uk, and www.stallardediting.com.
A Chinese author is recommended to call for the service from an international language company, LiWen BianJi (www.liwenbianji.cn), located in China.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND ORGANIZATION
Manuscripts should follow Journal of Genetics and Genomics style, be written in concise and grammatically correct English.Papers that do not meet the standards below will be returned to the authors without further review. Consult a current issue of JGG for guidance on format, organization, and preparation of figures, legends, tables, and references.
Original manuscripts must be prepared using a standard word processing program (such as Microsoft Word) and should be prepared with 1.5 line spacing and in 12 point type using Times New Roman font and Symbol font for Greek characters to avoid inadvertent character substitutions. The line number should be added consecutively throughout the manuscript. Please do not use Chinese font.
Organize manuscripts in the following order: Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, and Figure legends. Figures and regular Supplemental data should be included in separate files and not as part of the manuscript. These files will be converted, along with the manuscript, into a single PDF on upload.
TITLE PAGE
Include the following information on this page:
鈥?nbsp; Title The full manuscript title should be succinct ( about 120 characters), informative and descriptive. The title should include detail for indexing and should be comprehensible for a broad scientific audience. Authors should avoid using colons, questions, and nonstandard abbreviations in titles. The title must mention the subject organism (or general group in the case of comparative works). Latin names should be used for all organisms, while common names are allowed for the model systems (maize, rice, yeast).
鈥?nbsp; Author affiliation Include department, institution, and complete address for each author. If there are authors with different affiliations, use superscripts to match authors with institutions.
鈥?nbsp; Corresponding author The name, complete address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be provided.
鈥?nbsp; Manuscript information The number of text pages (including references and figure legends), of figures, of tables ,and of words in the paper should be provided.
鈥?nbsp; Word and character counts The number of words in the abstract and the total number of characters in the paper should be provided.
鈥?nbsp; Abbreviations footnote List nonstandard abbreviations used five or more times. Define these where first mentioned in the text and do not use them in the title.
ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS
The abstract should stand on its own with no reference to the text. It should contain approximately 200 words and must summarize the questions being addressed, the approach taken, the major findings, and the significance of the results. It should be concise, complete, and clearly communicate the importance of the work for a broad audience. At least three key words (for the purposes of indexing) should be supplied following the abstract. Chinese authors should provide the title, affiliations, key words and an abstract (which should exceed five hundred words) in Chinese at the end of the paper.
Text
Authors should divide their manuscripts into the following sections: Introduction (not included as a heading), Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion.
鈥?nbsp; Introduction The Introduction should provide the necessary background information for the average reader; it should be both complete and concise. Previous publications that form a basis for the work presented must be cited. Citation of reviews is not a substitute for citing primary research articles. Citation of recent research articles is not a substitute for citing original discoveries. An aurthor's own work should not be cited preferentially over equally relevant work of other.
鈥?nbsp; Materials and Methods Methods must be described completely enough that other laboratories can replicate results and verify claims. Generally, standard procedures should be referenced, though significant variations should be described. Appropriate experimental design and statistical methods should be applied and described wherever necessary for proper interpretation of data and verification of claims. All novel materials and the procedures them should be described in sufficient detail to allow their reproduction (e.g., DNA constructs, genetic stocks, enzyme preparations, and analytical software).
鈥?nbsp; Results The Results and Discussion can be subdivided if subheadings give the manuscript more clarity.
鈥?nbsp; Discussion The Discussion should focus on the interpretation rather than a repetition of the Results section.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
List dedications and acknowledgments.
REFERENCES
Cite references in the text by name and date of publication and not by number. Authors are expected to proofread every citation in their reference list against the PDF or photocopy of the cited work so that the reference list is accurate with respect to spellings, symbols, italics, subscripts/superscripts, and accents. Only published or in-press papers and books may be cited in the reference list. Citations for web sites (other than for primary literature) should be handled parenthetically in the text and not included in the reference list. Authors should test all URLs and links.
It is expected that all cited publications have been read and determined to be appropriate by the authors, not merely identified by database searches. Reference to specific results should be to original research articles, not to more recent articles or reviews.
A reference manager software, Endnote, Reference Manager or other similar software, is suggested to be used by author. Then spelling errors and fault information can be avoided. JGG's reference format is same with the famous journal 鈥?/FONT>THE PLANT CELL', which is listed in the reference software format list.

TABLES
Prepare tables using Word's table feature. Number tables consecutively as they are first mentioned in the text. Tables should be typed double spaced, one to a page and are placed after the references. Provide a concise title for each table, and label each column with an unambiguous heading. If footnotes are needed for clarity, designate them with lowercase letters in the order in which they are referenced in the table. Table titles and footnotes should be placed as regular text outside the table body. Remember, each table must stand alone, i.e., contain all necessary information in the caption, and the table itself must be understood independently of the text. Do not repeat information that is given in the text, and do not make a table for data which can be given in the text in one or two sentences.
FIGURES
Number figures consecutively according to the order in which they are called out in the text. Figures should be unambiguous and as conceptual as possible and should provide enough information so that the reader can understand them without significant input from the text. Use the same typefaces for all figures. For those figures that contain more than one panel, designate the panels with capital letters (no parentheses and no periods following letters) in 9 pt and bold in the upper left-hand corner of each panel. Place panels as close together as possible and eliminate or reduce black or white backgrounds as much as possible.
鈥?nbsp; Figure legends Each figure should be provided by a short tile. Figure legends should be concise and should not repeat information presented in the text. Figure panels that are designated with capital letters should have specific subtitles in the legend and should be described separately and completely. Do not describe methods in figure legends unless they are necessary to interpret the results conveyed by the figure. Define in the legend all symbols and abbreviations that are used in the figures.
鈥?nbsp; Figure resolution and size Resolution of most figures should be 600dpi at the actual size the figure is to print. For all-black line art, 1000 dpi is needed. Images must be final size, preferably 1 column width (85 mm). Figures wider than 1 column should be between 105 and 175 mm wide. Numbers, letters, and symbols should be 10 pt after reduction and must be consistent. Composite figures must be preassembled. Figures must be submitted as separate files, not embedded in manuscript text. Include the figure number at the top or bottom of the page.
鈥?nbsp; Figure format Only TIFF and EPS are allowed for figures that will appear in the print journal. If you use Photoshop or similar software, send .tif files at full size and delete any blank space around the edges of each figure. If you use Illustrator or similar software, send .eps files.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS
Data that are integral to the manuscript but impractical to include in the printed journal (for instance, large-scale data sets and videos) may be presented in JGG Online. Data and information that are peripheral to the conclusions may be provided as supplemental data if the coeditor agrees that these data would be valuable to specialist readers and are not necessary for other readers to understand the experimental support for important claims and conclusions.
PEER REVIEW
All manuscripts will be evaluated firstly by editorial office for conformity to requirements of the scopes and the Instructions to Authors of this journal. The manuscripts that fail to meet the criteria outlined below will be returned before peer-review. The editor responsible for the subject of the manuscript will invite 2-3 reviewers reasonably believed to be an appropriate scientific expert if needed. The Editor-in-Chief will make the final decision based on the editor's definitive recommendation for acceptance, revision, or declination. Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible, and the journal strives to return reviewers' comments to authors within 8 weeks whenever possible. If revision is requested, the editorial board will evaluate revised manuscripts and determine whether outside review is required. The board normally will consider only one revised manuscript, and this manuscript must be submitted within 1 month unless an extension is granted. Papers are usually published in chronological order of acceptance.
PROOFS
The editorial office will deliver electronic page proofs to the corresponding author via e-mail. Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript. Authors will receive proofs approximately 3 to 4 weeks after final acceptance of the manuscript.
COPYRIGHT
The copyright of any paper accepted for publication in JGG is reserved by the Society of Chinese Genetics, and the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. All authors are required to complete a Publishing Agreement. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in the Publishing Agreement, and must sign the Form or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. More explaination about copyright information can be found in Elsevier website. Articles cannot be published until a signed Publishing Agreement has been received.
