Engineering Nitrogenases for Synthetic Nitrogen Fixation: From Pathway Engineering to Directed Evolution

Emily M. Bennett, James W. Murray, Mark Isalan · 1 Jan 2023

Globally, agriculture depends on industrial nitrogen fertilizer to improve crop growth. Fertilizer production consumes fossil fuels and contributes to environmental nitrogen pollution. A potential solution would be to harness nitrogenases—enzymes capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen N2 to NH3 in ambient conditions. It is therefore a major goal of synthetic biology to engineer functional nitrogenases into…

Multiomics Research: Principles and Challenges in Integrated Analysis

Yunqing Luo, Chengjun Zhao, Fei Chen · 1 Jan 2024

Multiomics research is a transformative approach in the biological sciences that integrates data from genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics technologies to provide a comprehensive understanding of biological systems. This review elucidates the fundamental principles of multiomics, emphasizing the necessity of data integration to uncover the complex interactions and regulatory mechanisms underlying various biological…

Plant Promoters and Terminators for High-Precision Bioengineering

Emily Brooks, Estefania Elorriaga, Yang Liu et al. · 1 Jan 2023

High-precision bioengineering and synthetic biology require fine-tuning gene expression at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Gene transcription is tightly regulated by promoters and terminators. Promoters determine the timing, tissues and cells, and levels of the expression of genes. Terminators mediate transcription termination of genes and affect mRNA levels posttranscriptionally, e.g., the 3'-end processing, stability, translation…

CRISPR-Cas-Based Engineering of Probiotics

Ling Liu, Shimaa Elsayed Helal, Nan Peng · 1 Jan 2023

Probiotics are the treasure of the microbiology fields. They have been widely used in the food industry, clinical treatment, and other fields. The equivocal health-promoting effects and the unknown action mechanism were the largest obstacles for further probiotic's developed applications. In recent years, various genome editing techniques have been developed and applied to explore the…

An Overview of Antiviral Peptides and Rational Biodesign Considerations

Ying‐Chiang J. Lee, Jaden D. Shirkey, Jongbeom Park et al. · 1 Jan 2022

Viral diseases have contributed significantly to worldwide morbidity and mortality throughout history. Despite the existence of therapeutic treatments for many viral infections, antiviral resistance and the threat posed by novel viruses highlight the need for an increased number of effective therapeutics. In addition to small molecule drugs and biologics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent an emerging…

BioDesign Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BioDesign Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BioDesign Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AAAS (Science) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BioDesign Research use?
BioDesign Research uses Superscript numbered (Science) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title. BioDesign Research 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BioDesign Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the article LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AAAS (Science)-ready BioDesign Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BioDesign Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BioDesign Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes BioDesign Research?
BioDesign Research is a multidisciplinary journal published by AAAS (Science). DocuGuru's BioDesign Research template matches AAAS (Science)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BioDesign Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BioDesign Research template (the article class) that is ready to submit to AAAS (Science), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BioDesign Research template cost?
You can start writing in the BioDesign Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BioDesign Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
