About the journal
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high‐quality foundational research, particularly research that generates useful genetic and genomic information such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome‐wide association and QTL studies, as well as mutant screens and advances in methods and technology. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of these data is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, published by the Genetics Society of America, meets the critical and growing need of the genetics community for rapid review and publication of important results in all areas of genetics. G3 offers the opportunity to publish the puzzling finding or to present unpublished results that may not have been submitted for review and publication due to a perceived lack of a potential high-impact finding.
G3 seeks to publish:
- Research of interest to a wide range of biological disciplines, including microbiology, mycology, zoology, botany, and agriculture;
- Research in established and emerging model organisms;
- Research in human and medical genetics;
G3 focuses on:
- Datasets (e.g., genetic screens, functional genomics, population sequence, analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, quantitative analysis of phenotypes, analysis of genetic pathways, insights from genome analysis of emerging systems);
- Sequence of novel species;
- Genome maps (genetic and physical), especially including those of emerging model systems and less well-studied organisms;
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS);
- Protein/gene family reviews: systematic and structured overviews of important and often large protein/gene families that serve as essential references;
- Analysis of processes, including analysis of single genes or biological pathways, that offer new information;
- Personal exome and genome sequencing case, disease, and population reports;
- Population data (e.g. QTL studies limited to a single population);
- Studies on gene, protein and other biological networks;
- Novel mutant collections, and reagents and resources made available to the community for further analysis;
- Mutant or RNAi screens without extensive further mutant characterization;
- New methods and technologies for the production and analysis of large-scale genetic datasets;
- Software for the analysis of genetic data;
- Evaluation of genetic models or methods using stochastic simulation;
- Results of experiments that fail to confirm or reject a hypothesis but are nevertheless informative.
Criteria for Publication
- the experiments and other analyses are of high-quality and are clearly described and reasonably interpreted;
- the study describes information (e.g. large‐scale datasets; sequence or QTL information), reagents or new resources (e.g. results of a mutant screen; mutant; collections for functional genomic experiments) or tools/methodologies (e.g. statistical/computational methods) whose availability would be valuable for genetics and genomics investigators;
- the results are original and adhere to all community standards for data availability and format (note: in certain cases we will specify required data formats in instructions to authors);
- the results presented provide strong support for the conclusions reached.
Instructions to Authors
MANUSCRIPT TEXT 
Manuscripts must be:
- written in English with American spelling and correct grammar and punctuation,
- in 12-point type, double-spaced throughout, including the Literature Cited section and appendices,
- marked with consecutive page numbers, beginning with the cover page.
The first page should contain:
- a concise, informative title that avoids jargon and includes the name of the organism under study,
- the authors' names,
- the authors' institutional affiliations, including department; institution; and city, state or province, country if outside the United States, and postal code (do not include districts or street addresses),
- reference numbers for data available in public repositories and IRB numbers.
For the authors' names, indicate different affiliations with the superscript symbols: *, §, †, ‡. (These symbols can be inserted using Microsoft Word.) After four authors, the symbols double, triple, quadrupal, etc.
Use a numbered footnote to indicate an author's present address. Indicate a dedicatory footnote (if desired) with boldfaced type.
The second page contains:
- a short running title of about 35 characters, including spaces,
- up to five key words or phrases preferably not contained in the title or abstract,
- the corresponding author's name, office mailing address including street name and number, phone number, and email address.
ABSTRACT
The impression the abstract makes usually determines whether readers will continue to read the article. The abstract may be the only part of the article that is indexed in databases, so it must also stand on its own and accurately reflect the content of the article. A well-written abstract is THE most effective way to reach intended readers, leading to more robust search, retrieval, and usage of the article. Your abstract should:
- be engaging, clear, and concise;
- provide a synopsis of the entire article;
- begin with the broad context of the study, followed by specific background for the study;
- describe the purpose, methods and procedures, core findings and results, and conclusions of the study;
- emphasize new or important aspects of the research;
- engage the broad readership of G3 and be understandable to a diverse audience (avoid using jargon);
- be a single paragraph of less than 250 words;
- contain the full name of the organism studied;
- NOT contain citations or abbreviations.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should be accessible to a generalist reader. It should begin with an explanation of why the the work is important and go on to describe the specific study. The scope and impact of the work should be clearly stated.
In individual organisms where a mutant is being studied, the rationale for the study of that mutant must be clear to a geneticist not studying that particular organism. Similarly, study of particular phenotypes should be justified broadly and not on the basis of interest for that organism alone. General background on the importance of the genetic pathway and/or phenotype should be provided in a single, well-reasoned paragraph near the beginning of the introduction.
Authors are also encouraged to:
- cite the supporting literature completely rather than select a subset of citations;
- provide important background citations, including relevant review papers (to help orient the non-specialist reader);
- cite similar work in other organisms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Manuscripts submitted to G3 should contain a clear description of the experimental design with sufficient detail so that the experimental analysis could be repeated by another scientist. The protocol description should be no more than 2 paragraphs. If necessary, give a short description in the main body of the paper and prepare a detailed description for supporting information.
For example: indicate how many individuals were used and if applicable, how individuals or groups were combined for analysis. If working with mutants, indicate how many independent mutants were isolated. If working with populations, indicate how samples were collected and whether they were random with respect to the target population.
Statistical Analysis
Indicate which statistical analysis has been performed and describe the method and model applied. If many genes were examined simultaneously, or many phenotypes, a multiple comparison correction should be used to control the type I error rate, or a rationale for not applying a correction must be provided. The type of correction applied should be clearly stated. It should also be clear whether the p-values reported are raw, or after correction. Corrected p-values are often appropriate, but raw p-values should be available in the supporting materials so that others may perform their own corrections.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results and discussion should not be repetitive. Present results only once; do not repeat results in the discussion section. It is sometimes acceptable to combine these two sections. The text should be as succinct as possible. Heed Strunk and White's dictum: "Omit needless words!"
The Results section should give a factual presentation of the data. All tables and figures should be referenced.
The Discussion section should provide an interpretation of the results, and should clearly delineate between the findings of the particular study and the possible impact of those findings in a larger context. Authors are encouraged to cite recent work relevant to their interpretations.
The text should conform to the style in recent issues of G3. Please follow these guidelines:
In-text Citations
Include both names for citations with two authors. For citations with three or more authors, list only the first author's name followed by et al.
Cite only articles that are published or in press. To cite personal communications or unpublished results, list all contributors by initials and last name; do not use et al.
Numbers
Write out numbers nine or less except as part of a date, a fraction or decimal, a percentage, or a unit of measurement. Use Arabic numerals for numbers greater than nine. If the number is the first word in a sentence, always write it out; however, try to avoid starting a sentence with a number.
Units of Measurement
Use abbreviations of the customary units of measurement only when they are preceded by a number. For example, "three minutes" can be abbreviated as "3 min." "Several minutes" should NOT be abbreviated as "several min."
Write out the word "percent" except when it is used with a number. For example, "75 percent" can be abbreviated as "75%." "Several percent" should NOT be abbreviated as "several %."
To indicate temperature in centigrade, use the degree symbol (for example, 32°). Include a letter after the degree symbol only when some other scale is intended (for example, 45°K).
Names in Genetics
Italicize names of organisms only when the species is indicated: Neurospora, but Neurospora crassa or N. crassa.
Italicize the first three letters of the names of restriction enzyme cleavage sites, as in HindIII. Write the names of strains in Roman numerals except when incorporating specific genotypic designations.
Italicize genotype names and symbols, including all components of alleles, but not when the name of a gene is the same as the name of an enzyme.
Do not use "+" to indicate wild type. Carefully distinguish between genotype (italicized) and phenotype (not italicized) in both the writing and the symbolism.
Dividing Text into Sections
When dividing the text into sections, only these four levels are allowed:
- Level 1: Centered, all capital letters. Use this level for major sections of text, such as Materials and Methods and the Discussion.
- Level 2: Freestanding flush-left boldface. Use this level only to group two or more closely related Level 3 headings in long article.
- Level 3: Paragraph-initiating boldface, followed by a colon.
- Level 4: Paragraph-initiating italic. Level 4 headings may be numbered, but only when the numbers must be cited in the text.
