Genetics, Molecular Biology, Evolution, Endocrinology, Embryology and Pathology of Sex Determination and Differentiation
s with a maximum length of 250 words should be provided for all Original Articles and Reviews, and with 100 words for Short Reports and Case Reports. Figures: Digital illustrations should be sharp with good contrast and color rendition. Resolution for all graphics should be at least 300 dots per inch. We request that all illustrations be in a common format such as .jpg .jpeg .jpe) .tif .tiff) .eps or .ppt. Tables must be in Word format. Please use Microsoft Word Table Insert Table commands from the menu bar to make tables. Literature cited: References should be quoted in the text as follows: single author: Jones (1999) two authors: Jones and Smith (2000) more than two authors: Jones et al. (2002) The reference list should be arranged alphabetically according to the first author's surname. Examples of citations are as follows: (1) Jones A, Smith B: The sex determining gene of Tyranosaurus rex. J Ext Rept 7:1 5 (2002) (2) Jones A: Pathology of Sex Determination in Parrots (Fantasy Press, London 1999) (3) Smith B: Evolution of the Mullerian duct, in White M, Black N (eds) Sex Differentiation in Kangaroos (Outback Press, Sydney 2003) Papers published in electronic format exclusively should list authors, title and journal as above followed by the journal's URL. Agreement between text citations and the reference list should be checked carefully, and the latter checked for accuracy. If many errors are found, the manuscript will be returned for corrections which may cause considerable delay in publication. Supplementary data may be submitted together with the manuscript, and will appear in their original form in the on line version of the journal. The authors must refer to these data in their articles. Gene/protein nomenclature: Authors must use officially approved gene/protein designations and check out every single gene/protein name before placing them in their papers. Human gene symbols: Only official gene symbols of the International System for Genome Nomenclature (ISGN) are accepted. Authors must obtain or verify the official gene symbol of the gene(s) and indicate that they have done so in the submitted paper. This can be accomplished for human genes by contacting Dr. Sue Povey (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee) Department of Biology, University College London, Wolfson House, 4 Stephenson Way, London, NW1 2HE (UK) Tel. +44 20 7679 7410; Fax +44 20 7387 3496; E Mail nome@galton.ucl.uk; URL: www.gene.ucl. ac.uk/nomenclature/ Animal gene symbols: Authors submitting material on mouse and rat genetics should obtain correct genetic nomenclature before publication.
