Genome Research is interested in considering ENCODE- and modENCODE-related papers reporting analyses of data private to individual groups. The editors of Genome Research are seeking submissions of manuscripts that describe novel biological insights gained from genome-wide mapping and characterization of functional elements in the human, C. elegans, and D. melanogaster genomes, including but not limited to work describing transcribed and regulatory elements, transcription factor binding sites, replication origins, DNA methylation status, DNase I hypersensitive sites, histone modifications, small RNAs, and novel methods to identify functional elements.

If you would like your work to be considered, please submit online at Genome Research and include keyword "ENCODE" or “modENCODE”.

When considering submission to Genome Research, please note Genome Research now ranks third amongst primary research journals in Genetics & Heredity, and is one of the top ten Molecular Biology journals. In addition to its high impact, Genome Research has rapid manuscript turn-around --on average less than 30 days -- and posts accepted preprints online within hours. Genome Research remains committed to the community it serves, setting standards in data quality and accessibility, and offering an Open Access option for interested authors.

Visit Genome Research online for additional information about the journal. For more information about submitting your ENCODE or modENCODE paper to Genome Research, please contact Hillary Sussman, Executive Editor, by email.
