Initial submission does not need to be formatted to Genetics & Genomics Next style.  For ease of evaluation and ease of submission, the Journal recommends an editable Word .docx or Authorea text document and a single merged PDF that includes all parts of main text and high-resolution figures embedded into the file.  A suitable PDF will be constructed by uploading text and figures using the online manuscript tracking system.  Genetics & Genomics Next does not impose word count and figure limits.  Below are the Journal’s suggestions so that the manuscript is respectful to reader time and are readable for specialist and generalist alike.
