Gene requires a high level of analysis and functional relevance in all manuscripts. Submission of derivative / descriptive work
of a simply confirmatory nature of well established findings is discouraged. Such work, however, is welcome, if it clearly helps to improve
the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies.
Articles describing databases should include interpretation,
explicit relevance to research, or other value-added elements.
Manuscripts addressing Evolutionary Genomics should emphasize comparative
genomic structures.
Manuscripts addressing Functional Genomics should preferably be focused on the following areas: chromatin and
transcription, genomic and computational biology, genome stability and dynamics, epigenomics.
Large scale studies addressing all
aspects of genetic variation, with an emphasis on structural variation, and addressing gene regulation and gene interaction are encouraged.
Gene will consider manuscripts rejected by other high profile journals if the authors submit the received reviews.
TYPES OF PAPERS:
regular research papers, method papers, reviews, letters to the editor. All reports should explicitly state the biological relevance
of the function that is the subject of the paper.
Methods papers will be considered only if they are of general importance
with considerable original and useful information. Minor improvements to existing methods are not acceptable.
Reviews or Mini-reviews
will be generally solicited by the Executive Editors of the journal. However, prospective authors interested in contributing such a paper
are invited to contact the Executive Editors or the Editor-in-Chief.
