Research

Cover Letter A cover letter is required. Cover letter must highlight the main points and suitability of the work, state the status of any personal communications or other permissions, describe databank submission of data, and assure that gene and protein names and symbols follow approved nomenclature guidelines.
Abstract An abstract is required. Abstract must not exceed 250 words. Abstract structure is not specified.
Manuscript Manuscript length must be between two and 12 journal pages. Manuscript must be ordered as Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods, Data Access, Competing Interest Statement, Acknowledgments, and References, and Results and Discussion must not be combined. Methods must include a Software availability section as appropriate, Data Access must include accession numbers for newly generated data or reviewer links when accessions are not yet public, and Author Contributions must appear at the end of Acknowledgments.
References References must use a name-date style. References must be listed alphabetically, cited in text as surname-date with et al. for more than two authors, include all authors up to 10 and the first 10 followed by et al. for more than 10, and journal references must be formatted as surname and initials, year, article title, abbreviated journal title, volume, and full page range.
Figures & Tables Initial submissions must embed all figures and tables in the main document near their first citation, with figure legends adjacent to the relevant figure. Tables essential for reproduction but not understanding and lengthy tables should be submitted as Supplemental Material.

Methods

Cover Letter A cover letter is required. The cover letter must include a paragraph highlighting the main points of the work and its suitability, the status of any personal communication or permission statements, a statement regarding databank submission of data, and assurance that gene and protein names and symbols follow approved nomenclature guidelines.
Abstract An abstract is required. Abstract cannot exceed 250 words.
Manuscript Paper length must be between two and 12 journal pages. Manuscript sections must be ordered as Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods, Data Access, Competing Interest Statement, Acknowledgments, and References, and Results and Discussion may not be combined. Methods must include a Software availability section at the end as appropriate, Data Access must include public database accession numbers for newly generated data or reviewer links when accessions are not yet public, and Author Contributions must appear at the end of Acknowledgments.
References References must use a name-date style. Article and book references must be cited in text as name-date, the reference list must be in alphabetical order, references with 10 or fewer authors must list all authors, and references with more than 10 authors must list the first 10 followed by et al.
Figures & Tables For first submission, all figures and tables must be embedded near the place of first citation within the main document, with figure legends adjacent to the relevant figure. Tables essential for reproducing the work but not essential for understanding the paper and lengthy tables should be submitted as Supplemental Material.

Resource

Cover Letter A cover letter is required. Cover letter must highlight the main points of the work and its suitability, state the status of any personal communications or other permissions, include a statement regarding databank submission of data, and assure approved gene and protein nomenclature is used.
Abstract An abstract is required. Abstract must not exceed 250 words.
Manuscript Paper length must be between two and 12 journal pages, and Resource articles are expected to be much more succinct. Manuscript sections must be ordered as Title Page, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods, Data Access, Competing Interest Statement, Acknowledgments, and References, with Results and Discussion kept separate. Methods must include a Software availability section as appropriate, Data Access must include accession numbers or reviewer links as applicable, and Author Contributions must appear at the end of Acknowledgments.
References References must use name-date citation style. Reference list must be in alphabetical order, include all authors when there are 10 or fewer or the first 10 followed by et al. when there are more than 10, and format journal references with surname and initials, year, article title, abbreviated journal title, volume, and complete page range.
Figures & Tables For initial submission, all figures and tables must be embedded near their first citation within the main document, with figure legends adjacent to the relevant figure. Tables essential for reproduction but not understanding and lengthy tables should be submitted as Supplemental Material.
