Preparation of Manuscripts

A title page should include: the title, all authors' names and complete affiliations, the corresponding author's complete contact information, a running title (50 characters or less, including spaces), 2-6 key words, and sources of grants or funding supports and personal acknowledgments).

General manuscript format: Manuscripts must be written in English. Manuscript sections should be presented in the following order: title page, ABSTRACT (less than 200 words), INTRODUCTION, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, REFERENCES, followed by figure legends, figures, and tables.

Article and book references: Number references in the order of their first mention in the text. Undated citations (unpublished, in preparation, personal communication) should include first initials and last names of authors, e.g. (H.M. Yang personal communication) and do not appear in the reference list.
Note that all authors' names should be listed only when there are not more than two authors in a reference. If there are three or more authors, only the name of the first author should be listed in the reference, followed by et al. Bibliographic information should be supplied in the following order:

1. Yu, J., et al. 2002. Minimal introns are not "junk". Genome Res. 12: 1185-1189.
2. Yang, H.M. and Yu, J. 2001. Genomic Sequencing. In Genome Science and Human Diseases (eds. Chen, Z., et al.), pp.12-24. Science Press, Beijing, China.

Website References: If the paper includes website URLs as references for places where material was obtained for performing the work, the URL should be included next to that information in the text.

Submission of Manuscripts Manuscripts are recommended to be submitted via e-mail or online system. All submissions to the journal will undergo an initial editorial review. Those selected by the Editor as suitable for the aims and scope of the journal will be peer-reviewed. All selected manuscripts will be reviewed by two or three scholars for a decision on acceptance, revision, or rejection within three months. After acceptance a paper will be published mainly in chronological order.
The journal only accepts papers that present original research that has not been published previously. Submission to the journal implies that another journal or book is not currently considering the paper for publication, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out.

Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author(s) for checking and correction of typographical errors and should be returned before the date specified.
