he genes that encode the miRNA are also named using the same three-letter prefix, with capitalization, hyphenation, and italics according to the conventions of the organism (for example, mir-1 in C. elegans and Drosophila, MIR156 in Arabidopsis and rice). The identifying numbers are assigned sequentially, with identical miRNAs having the same number, regardless of organism. Nearly identical orthologs can also be given the same number, at the discretion of the researcher. For example, miR-1 of Drosophila differs by a single nucleotide from miR-1 of C. elegans and humans. Identical or very similar miRNA sequences within a species can also be given the same number, with their genes distinguished by letter and/or numeral suffixes, according to the convention of the organism (e.g., the ∼22-nt transcripts of Drosophila mir-13a and mir-13b are slightly different in sequence, whereas those of mir-6-1 and mir-6-2 are identical; Lagos-Quintana et al. 2001).

- The typesetters automatically format the following items (except in Table headers and footnotes, and Figure legends) so there is no need for you to:
- italicise p in p value, n, F in F test, U in U test, r or R (printed version will be p value, n, F test, U test, r, R)
- place en-rules between pairs of numbers
- alter spacing around mathematical symbols (e.g. +, ±, = ) (printed version will be, for example, 0.38±0.5, p<0.05) (signs abutted by text will have space around them, for example, units for blood glucose AUC: mmol/l × h)
- alter spacing between values and symbols (printed version will be, for example, 5.6 mm, 8.8 g)
- Ignore details for formatting in this information, b/c it is specific to Diabetologia. However, Check Tables and Figs are cited in consecutive order. - Liz White on 2011-04-02
