AAA Nature Submission Announcement


	Dear Colleagues, The AAA 12 Fly Genomes Coordinating Committee is pleased to announce that the two main papers on the analysis of these genomes were submitted to Nature on July 19 and 23, and are currently in review. Mike Eisen and Andy Clark are the lead authors on the comparative evolution paper and Manolis Kellis on the comparative approaches to the annotation of D. melanogaster manuscript. We want to again state our appreciation to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) for their support of the sequencing and analysis of these genomes. We especially want to thank you all for your patience in working with us on contributions to and coordination with these manuscripts. If the reviews on the Nature papers are positive, and factoring in some time for revisions, we and Nature are targetting early November 2007 for publication. Nature will be coordinating with the companion paper journals on publication and associated announcements. We want to be sure that we know of all companion papers that are in the queue, either from the journals listed above or from other journals. This will help us and Nature do the necessary coordination. Just to be sure that we know of all the companion papers, even if you've notified us previously, please forward the following information to Bill Gelbart (gelbartmorgan.harvard.edu): Title Authors Journal A .pdf file of your paper You should also check that your companion paper journal editor is communicating with the lead editor at Nature (Chris Gunter: c.gunternaturedc.com) on coordination. Again, thank you for your support and understanding, and we look forward to the celebration of this special event in print in the near future. Sincerely, The AAA 12 Fly Genomes Coordinating Committee
