Instructions for Authors
Chromosome Science is the official journal of the Society of Chromosome Research (SCR), published in one volume of 4 issues, each year. SCR had published two journals, La Kromosomo and Chromosome Information Service since 1946 and 1960, respectively. These journals were united in 1996 and renamed Chromosome Science. Chromosome Science publishes original research reports in the fields of animal and plant cytogenetics, evolutionary aspects of chromosomes, gene mapping, cancer cytogenetics, comparative genetics, and genome studies. Abstracts of papers presented at the Annual Meetings of the SCR are also included. Methodological developments in areas such as differential staining of chromosomes, animal and plant cell culturing, cell fusion, gene and chromosome transfer, and in situ hybridization are also welcome.
Publication of Chromosome Science is open to non-members as well as the members of SCR.
