Welcome to Xine, the source for Xenopus news and information. Here's
what's happening...

From Sally Moody

genesis, The Journal of Genetics and Development is excited to announce a call for manuscripts to be published in a Special Issue on Xenopus Genetics and Genomics. genesis publishes reviews, research articles, short letters and technical reports, as detailed as the following link http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1526- 968X/homepage/ForAuthors.html. All of these manuscript types will be appropriate for the Special Issue on Xenopus Genetics and Genomics.

The Special Issue on Xenopus Genetics and Genomics is scheduled to be published in Winter 2011. Therefore, manuscripts are due no later than July 31, 2011. Please send an email of intent to submit to the Editor-in-Chief (samoody@gwu.edu). When manuscripts are submitted, as per instructions at the above link, please identify that it is intended for the Special Issue on Xenopus Genetics and Genomics in the cover letter.

Manuscripts submitted for this Special Issue will enjoy an expedited review, as well as:

• complete compliance with NIH, HHMI and Wellcome Trust Open Access policies
• free color figures with Editor-in-Chief approval
• manuscripts will be posted on-line in uncorrected form within days of acceptance
• corrected proofs will be available on-line and indexed in PubMed within weeks, and
• extensive on-line author services.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to participate in this exciting project, and look forward to seeing your manuscript in the review queue for the Special Issue on Xenopus Genetics and Genomics at genesis, The Journal of Genetics and Development.
