Instructions for Genetics

Note to authors: Congratulations on your paper being accepted by GENETICS for publication!

Now that your paper has been accepted, you have an opportunity to see your data incorporated into WormBase on a much faster time scale than data published in other journals. GENETICS has agreed to help you get your data into our database faster, by requesting that you fill out the following form before your paper hits the press, rather than us waiting for your paper to appear in Pubmed, which can take weeks to months. In addition, by giving us just a bit more detailed information than we would ask of authors of papers from other journals, we can help your paper become a more comprehensive resource portal to worm biology.

To fill out the form, either indicate by a check of the box if a specific data type exists in the body of your paper or list specific details that you use as part of your experiments. In the latter case, when we ask for specific details, these will be objects that you have created or used during the course of your research, such as alleles, RNAi probes, antibodies, integrated transgenes, etc., which do not exist in WormBase already. Please enter the objects into the space provided. If you would rather upload a file, please contact kyook@caltech.edu.

Thank you for your cooperation. We expect you to benefit greatly from participating in our data extraction and markup partnership with GENETICS, Textpresso and WormBase.

Best Wishes,
