About the journal
Genetical Research is a prestigious, well-established journal which publishes original work of high quality and wide interest on all aspects of genetics. Major areas of research covered include population and quantitative genetics (both theoretical and experimental), QTL mapping, molecular and developmental genetics of eukaryotes. The breadth and quality of papers, reviews and book reviews make the journal invaluable to professional geneticists, molecular biologists, plant and animal breeders, medical scientists and biologists involved in evolutionary and developmental studies

Instructions to Authors
Genetical Research publishes original work on all aspects of genetics, or in any field of research which
has an important bearing on genetics. Reviews of topical interest will also be considered. Papers will be
submitted to referees, and will generally be printed in order of acceptance. Short papers (see below) will be given priority in publication.
Contributions
Contributions are welcomed from scientists of all nationalities but must be written in English. Papers
should be sent to one of the Executive Editors, or to a member of the Editorial Board with a particular
interest in that area of genetics. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors of articles published in the journal assign
copyright to Cambridge University Press (with certain rights reserved) and you will receive a copyright
assignment form for signature on acceptance of your paper.
Papers should be as concise as clarity permits, and illustrations should be restricted to the minimum
needed.

Professor W G Hill and Dr D J Finnegan, Genetical Research, Institute of Cell, Animal and Population
Biology, University of Edinburgh, Ashworth Laboratories, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9

Short papers
This category is designed for concisely written reports of work for which rapid publication is considered desirable. Such papers will normally be published within three months of receipt in acceptable form. They should not exceed 4 pages of print in length, and should include a summary.
Typescripts
A top copy and two other copies should be submitted. The top copy should be typed with double-spacing on one side of good quality paper, leaving margins of about 40 mm (1.5 inches) at the left-hand side and at the top and bottom of each sheet. Each copy should include a complete set of illustrations. The title should ordinarily identify the organism. The address of the laboratory at which the work was carried out will be printed with the authors' names at the head of the paper, and changes of address may be added in footnotes. A footnote to the title page should also give the name and address to whom reprint requests may be made. Sources of financial support should be included with other acknowledgements at the end of the text. The title page of the typescript should include a short title for running headlines (limited to 50 letters and spaces), and the name and address of the author (or his proxy) to whom the proofs are to be sent, under the heading: Proofs to be sent to . Main headings should be typed in capitals and (except summary and references) numbered consecutively. Subheadings should be typed in lower case, and underlined except for those words and symbols which would be italicized in the text. Subheadings should be numbered (i), (ii), etc., within each main heading. Numeral 1 and letter el: if your PC uses one symbol for both, please make clear to the printer which is intended in formulae, gene symbols, etc.
Disk submission
When an article has been accepted for publication, the author is requested to send a copy of the final
version on computer disk (Apple Macintosh or IBM -compatible PC) together with the hard copy
typescript, giving details of the wordprocessing software used (Microsoft Word, Word or WordPerfect).
However, the publisher reserves the right to typeset material by conventional means if an author's disk
proves unsatisfactory.
Summary
The summary will be printed at the beginning of the paper. It should give a concise abstract of the
significant content and conclusions of the paper, in a form suitable for abstracting journals to use, and
should not exceed 250 words.
Illustrations
All illustrations, including photographs, diagrams, graphs etc. are to be labelled consecutively Figure 1, 2. . . according to their relative positions in the text. Each figure should have a legend to be printed
underneath it. Photographs should be supplied as unmounted glossy prints, with a sketch or separate set to show the arrangement required when several photographs are to form one figure. The names of the
authors and the orientation of the figure should be indicated on the back of each photograph.
Diagrams should be about twice the size of the printed figure, but not larger than 300 x 200 mm (12 x 8 inches), unless exceptionally complicated, and the thickness of lines and size of points should be
determined accordingly. They may be submitted as glossy photographic prints or be drawn. The lettering on drawings should be lightly inserted in soft pencil only, so that the printer can put in the finished lettering. Legends to illustrations must be given on a separate sheet of paper. Each illustration must have the name of the author and figure number pencilled on the back.
Tables
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper and its approximate position in the text indicated on the typescript. Each should be numbered and carry an appropriate title. The table should be designed, whenever possible, to be printed in the normal orientation of the text. The data should be grouped so as to make the use of rules unnecessary. Vertical rules, in particular, are expensive to print, and will only be included at the Editor's discretion.
Symbols
Gene and mathematical symbols should generally be printed in italics. Please underline those to be
italicized when they appear in the text and tables. Bold letters add to printing costs and should only be
used where they are necessary to avoid confusion. The author must assume responsibility for the accurate printing of complex mathematical formulae submitted in typewritten form, by differentiating between letters and numbers which are open to misinterpretation, and identifying all Greek, Hebrew and script letters by means of marginal notes at their first appearance. Note that Greek symbols cannot be italicized and that '+' as the symbol for a wild -type allele should not be italicized. Nomenclature
Wherever possible, standardized nomenclature should be employed. The author should refer to the
following publications for guidance: Novick et al. (Bacteriological Reviews 40, 168-189) for plasmids;
O'Brien (Ed.), Genetic Maps 6, Cold Spring Harbor 1993, for recent information on most species and
recent gene lists.
References
References should follow the normal usage in the journal. In the list of references at the end of the paper, both titles of articles and names of periodicals should be written out in full.
Proofs
Two sets of page proofs, together with the typescript of each paper will be sent to the author. The printers' marked proof should be returned after correction to the Executive Editor, together with the typescript. Excessive alterations, other than corrections of printers' errors, may be disallowed or charged to the author. Corrections should be made using the symbols in British Standard 1219: 1958, or its shortened version B.S. 1219C: 1958.
Offprints
Fifty offprints of each paper, or short paper, are provided free of charge. Additional offprints may be
ordered in the form sent out with proofs, provided this is returned within fourteen days of receipt.
