[Tex/LaTex] How to remove comma and “and” before institutional last author after compiling BibTeX

bibtex

I have the following BibTeX entry:

@article{pubmed18800157,
    author = {Heng, T.S. and Painter, M.W. and Immunological Genome Project Consortium},
    title = {The {I}mmunological {G}enome {P}roject: networks of gene expression in immune cells.},
    journal = {Nat. Immunol.},
    pages = {1091-1094},
    volume = {9},
    number ={10},
    year = {2008},
},
%\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

When the bibliography is generated, it puts comma a the end of the author:
enter image description here

Notice the comma after M.W. Painter. Is there a way to remove it?

Best Answer

Complementary to the approach of editing a .bst file, if you are willing to shift to biblatex then you can do this using the trad-unsrt style and a very minor customisation:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{pubmed18800157,
    author = {Heng, T. S. and Painter, M. W. and {Immunological Genome Project Consortium}},
    title = {The {Immunological} {Genome} {Project}:
      networks of gene expression in immune cells.},
    journal = {Nat. Immunol.},
    pages = {1091-1094},
    volume = {9},
    number ={10},
    year = {2008},
},
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,bibstyle=trad-unsrt]{biblatex}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\addspace \bibstring {and}\space}

\begin{document}

\textcite{pubmed18800157}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Note that this has nothing to do with institutional authors: the same is true for any list of three or more authors with the unsrt style.
