Upgrade StorageStyle Error: Genetics
Instructions for authors:
http://www.genetics.org/content/prep-manuscript
Currently, the available Zotero Genetics style has all authors' initials following their last names [also hanging indention]:
Hirobe T., Kawa Y., Mizoguchi M., Ito S., Wakamatsu K., 2002 Effects of genic substitution at the pink-eyed dilution locus on the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes in vivo and in vitro. J. Exp. Zool. 292: 351–366.
However, the examples in the instructions for authors on the journal site has first author's initials following his last name, and the initials of all authors after the first author preceding their last names [Also, no hanging indention.]:
Texada, M. J., R. A. Simonette, C. B. Johnson, W. J. Deery, and K. M. Beckingham, 2008 Yuri gagarin is required for actin, tubulin and basal body functions in Drosophila spermatogenesis. J. Cell Sci. 121: 1926-1936.
I tried to hack my way through a solution myself, but ended up just mangling it
(I'm a physician, not a... ).
Much obliged for your help.

I recommend to always look at the PDFs of papers as that's how it's actually wanted. On the website it can look different.
I've fixed a bunch of other issues and also added the DOI for journal-articles as it seems that they include those now.
Thank you very much. I'll check it out.
Good advice re: looking at PDFs; I should know better.
In doing so, I noticed that a larger space (equivalent to double or triple space) appears between the year and title. I started to modify the style to reflect this, but when I checked how many spaces actually appear in the pdfs (by copying/pasting to a plain text file), it copies as a single space. I interpret this to mean that a single space is probably expected, and the typesetter converts this to an extra-wide whitespace character. Is this right, or should I insert multiple spaces (or some special whitespace character) here?

(note that thes are in the same issue, and one includes DOI & the other doesn't, so I guess their optional)
By diddling around with it, I seem to have managed to "fix" (or at least alter) this behavior by changing line 143 of https://github.com/POBrien333/styles/raw/ae1e03488af7a297023e226152547841fd0e106e/genetics.csl

I hesitate to call this a fix, because although it seems fine with my document, I really don't know what I'm doing, and so my changes might have undesirable effects in other situations.
