De novo identification of differentially methylated regions in the human genome

Timothy J. Peters, Michael Buckley, Aaron L. Statham et al. · 27 Jan 2015

BACKGROUND: The identification and characterisation of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between phenotypes in the human genome is of prime interest in epigenetics. We present a novel method, DMRcate, that fits replicated methylation measurements from the Illumina HM450K BeadChip (or 450K array) spatially across the genome using a Gaussian kernel. DMRcate identifies and ranks the most…

Peak calling by Sparse Enrichment Analysis for CUT&RUN chromatin profiling

Michael P. Meers, Dan Tenenbaum, Steven Henikoff · 12 Jul 2019

BACKGROUND: CUT&RUN is an efficient epigenome profiling method that identifies sites of DNA binding protein enrichment genome-wide with high signal to noise and low sequencing requirements. Currently, the analysis of CUT&RUN data is complicated by its exceptionally low background, which renders programs designed for analysis of ChIP-seq data vulnerable to oversensitivity in identifying sites of…

Constitutive heterochromatin formation and transcription in mammals

Nehmé Saksouk, Elisabeth Simboeck, Jérôme Déjardin · 15 Jan 2015

Constitutive heterochromatin, mainly formed at the gene-poor regions of pericentromeres, is believed to ensure a condensed and transcriptionally inert chromatin conformation. Pericentromeres consist of repetitive tandem satellite repeats and are crucial chromosomal elements that are responsible for accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis. The repeat sequences are not conserved and can greatly vary between different organisms,…

Additional annotation enhances potential for biologically-relevant analysis of the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array

E. Magda Price, Allison M. Cotton, Lucia L.C. Lam et al. · 3 Mar 2013

BACKGROUND: Measurement of genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) has become an important avenue for investigating potential physiologically-relevant epigenetic changes. Illumina Infinium (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) is a commercially available microarray suite used to measure DNAm at many sites throughout the genome. However, it has been suggested that a subset of array probes may give misleading…

Chromatin accessibility: a window into the genome

Maria Tsompana, Michael Buck · 20 Nov 2014

Transcriptional activation throughout the eukaryotic lineage has been tightly linked with disruption of nucleosome organization at promoters, enhancers, silencers, insulators and locus control regions due to transcription factor binding. Regulatory DNA thus coincides with open or accessible genomic sites of remodeled chromatin. Current chromatin accessibility assays are used to separate the genome by enzymatic or…

Epigenetics & Chromatin template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Epigenetics & Chromatin format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Epigenetics & Chromatin 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 Epigenetics & Chromatin use?
Epigenetics & Chromatin 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. Epigenetics & Chromatin. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Epigenetics & Chromatin?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Epigenetics & Chromatin 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 Epigenetics & Chromatin template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Epigenetics & Chromatin format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Epigenetics & Chromatin?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Epigenetics & Chromatin PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Epigenetics & Chromatin template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Epigenetics & Chromatin template cost?
You can start writing in the Epigenetics & Chromatin template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Epigenetics & Chromatin PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
