Submission Requirements
Manuscript Preparation
Your manuscript should clearly communicate the significance of your proteomics or genomics findings to the broader molecular biology community. Structure your paper to highlight novel mechanisms, methodological innovations, or biological insights.
Title: Concise and informative, including key terms like "proteomics," "gene expression," "protein structure," or specific proteins/genes studied. Avoid abbreviations in the title.
Abstract: 250-300 words summarizing background, methods, key findings, and implications. For proteomics studies, include quantification methods and validation approaches. For genomics research, specify sequencing platforms and analysis pipelines.
Keywords: 5-8 terms reflecting your research focus (e.g., "mass spectrometry," "transcriptomics," "protein-protein interactions," "CRISPR," "signaling pathways," "post-translational modifications").
Data Availability
Molecular biology research requires transparent data sharing. We mandate deposition of:
- Proteomics data: ProteomeXchange (PRIDE, MassIVE, PeptideAtlas)
- Genomics data: Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Sequence Read Archive (SRA)
- Structural data: Protein Data Bank (PDB), Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB)
- Metabolomics data: MetaboLights, Metabolomics Workbench
Reproducibility Standards
