The RAST Server: Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology

Ramy K. Aziz, Daniela Bartels, Aaron A. Best et al. · 8 Feb 2008

BACKGROUND: The number of prokaryotic genome sequences becoming available is growing steadily and is growing faster than our ability to accurately annotate them. DESCRIPTION: We describe a fully automated service for annotating bacterial and archaeal genomes. The service identifies protein-encoding, rRNA and tRNA genes, assigns functions to the genes, predicts which subsystems are represented in…

The advantages of the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) over F1 score and accuracy in binary classification evaluation

Davide Chicco, Giuseppe Jurman · 2 Jan 2020

Abstract Background To evaluate binary classifications and their confusion matrices, scientific researchers can employ several statistical rates, accordingly to the goal of the experiment they are investigating. Despite being a crucial issue in machine learning, no widespread consensus has been reached on a unified elective chosen measure yet. Accuracy and F 1 score computed on…

BLAST Ring Image Generator (BRIG): simple prokaryote genome comparisons

Nabil-Fareed Alikhan, Nicola K. Petty, Nouri L. Ben Zakour et al. · 8 Aug 2011

BACKGROUND: Visualisation of genome comparisons is invaluable for helping to determine genotypic differences between closely related prokaryotes. New visualisation and abstraction methods are required in order to improve the validation, interpretation and communication of genome sequence information; especially with the increasing amount of data arising from next-generation sequencing projects. Visualising a prokaryote genome as a…

Slingshot: cell lineage and pseudotime inference for single-cell transcriptomics

Kelly Street, Davide Risso, Russell B. Fletcher et al. · 18 Jun 2018

BACKGROUND: Single-cell transcriptomics allows researchers to investigate complex communities of heterogeneous cells. It can be applied to stem cells and their descendants in order to chart the progression from multipotent progenitors to fully differentiated cells. While a variety of statistical and computational methods have been proposed for inferring cell lineages, the problem of accurately characterizing…

Centering, scaling, and transformations: improving the biological information content of metabolomics data

Robert A. van den Berg, Huub C. J. Hoefsloot, Johan A. Westerhuis et al. · 8 Jun 2006

BACKGROUND: Extracting relevant biological information from large data sets is a major challenge in functional genomics research. Different aspects of the data hamper their biological interpretation. For instance, 5000-fold differences in concentration for different metabolites are present in a metabolomics data set, while these differences are not proportional to the biological relevance of these metabolites.…

BMC Genomics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Genomics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Genomics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Genomics use?
BMC Genomics uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Genomics. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Genomics?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Genomics 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 BMC Genomics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Genomics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is BMC Genomics?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Genomics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Genomics template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Genomics template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Genomics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Genomics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
