The revolution in high speed, low cost, high throughput parallel sequencing technology has lowered the barrier to whole-genome sequencing and changed the way we think about genome sequencing and sequences. Identification of novel bacteria and viruses by sequencing entire genomes of isolates from normal and diseased tissue or the environment is becoming routine. Similarly, sequence-based identification of novel fungi and other eukaryotic microbes, as well as whole-genome sequencing of familiar eukaryotic microbes, increasingly is feasible. Although sequence data typically are deposited in GenBank or other shared databases, the rationale for sequencing a particular organism and the detailed methodologies and protocols used often are not readily available.Since 2007, the Journal of Bacteriology has published Genome Announcements, brief reports (limit of 500 words exclusive of the abstract and acknowledgments) stating that the genome of a particular organism has been sequenced and deposited, and providing a citable record of the corresponding GenBank submission. Genome Announcements do not require peer review but may be reviewed at the editor's discretion. Publication of a Genome Announcement does not preclude a later publication (e.g., a full comparative analysis) on the same organism.
The Journal of Virology and Eukaryotic Cell now join the Journal of Bacteriology in accepting Genome Announcements as a simple, rapid way for authors to inform their communities about completion of new sequencing projects. The manuscript must include an abstract, an acknowledgments section indicating the source of support for the work, and a nucleotide sequence accession number; no text headings should be used except for "References." Genome Announcements may not include figures, tables, or supplemental material used to present data or analysis. However, multiple related sequences and their accompanying accession numbers and URL may be presented in tabular form. Publication of Sequence Read Archives (SRAs) is not permitted.
Genome Announcements are made freely available to the public as both the preliminary “Accepts” versions and the final versions published in the online journal. Genome Announcement authors pay a flat publication fee of $250 for ASM members ($375 for nonmembers).
