Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2

Michael I. Love, Wolfgang Huber, Simon Anders · 5 Dec 2014

In comparative high-throughput sequencing assays, a fundamental task is the analysis of count data, such as read counts per gene in RNA-seq, for evidence of systematic changes across experimental conditions. Small replicate numbers, discreteness, large dynamic range and the presence of outliers require a suitable statistical approach. We present DESeq2, a method for differential analysis…

Ultrafast and memory-efficient alignment of short DNA sequences to the human genome

Ben Langmead, Cole Trapnell, Mihai Pop et al. · 4 Mar 2009

Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient alignment program for aligning short DNA sequence reads to large genomes. For the human genome, Burrows-Wheeler indexing allows Bowtie to align more than 25 million reads per CPU hour with a memory footprint of approximately 1.3 gigabytes. Bowtie extends previous Burrows-Wheeler techniques with a novel quality-aware backtracking algorithm that permits…

Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS)

Yong Zhang, Tao Liu, Clifford A. Meyer et al. · 17 Sep 2008

We present Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq data, MACS, which analyzes data generated by short read sequencers such as Solexa's Genome Analyzer. MACS empirically models the shift size of ChIP-Seq tags, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in…

Accurate normalization of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of multiple internal control genes

Jo Vandesompele, Katleen De Preter, Filip Pattyn et al. · 18 Jun 2002

BACKGROUND: Gene-expression analysis is increasingly important in biological research, with real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) becoming the method of choice for high-throughput and accurate expression profiling of selected genes. Given the increased sensitivity, reproducibility and large dynamic range of this methodology, the requirements for a proper internal control gene for normalization have become increasingly stringent.…

Metagenomic biomarker discovery and explanation

Nicola Segata, Jacques Izard, Levi Waldron et al. · 24 Jun 2011

This study describes and validates a new method for metagenomic biomarker discovery by way of class comparison, tests of biological consistency and effect size estimation. This addresses the challenge of finding organisms, genes, or pathways that consistently explain the differences between two or more microbial communities, which is a central problem to the study of…

Genome Biology template — frequently asked questions

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