Analysis of 100,000 human cancer genomes reveals the landscape of tumor mutational burden

Zachary R. Chalmers, Caitlin Connelly, David Fabrizio et al. · 13 Apr 2017

BACKGROUND: High tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker of sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors and has been shown to be more significantly associated with response to PD-1 and PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy than PD-1 or PD-L1 expression, as measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The distribution of TMB and the subset of patients with high TMB…

The healthy human microbiome

Jason Lloyd‐Price, Galeb Abu-Ali, Curtis Huttenhower · 27 Apr 2016

Humans are virtually identical in their genetic makeup, yet the small differences in our DNA give rise to tremendous phenotypic diversity across the human population. By contrast, the metagenome of the human microbiome-the total DNA content of microbes inhabiting our bodies-is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of its constituent genes found…

Molecular and pharmacological modulators of the tumor immune contexture revealed by deconvolution of RNA-seq data

Francesca Finotello, Clemens Mayer, Christina Plattner et al. · 24 May 2019

We introduce quanTIseq, a method to quantify the fractions of ten immune cell types from bulk RNA-sequencing data. quanTIseq was extensively validated in blood and tumor samples using simulated, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry data.quanTIseq analysis of 8000 tumor samples revealed that cytotoxic T cell infiltration is more strongly associated with the activation of the CXCR3/CXCL9…

Polygenic risk scores: from research tools to clinical instruments

Cathryn M. Lewis, Evangelos Vassos · 18 May 2020

Genome-wide association studies have shown unequivocally that common complex disorders have a polygenic genetic architecture and have enabled researchers to identify genetic variants associated with diseases. These variants can be combined into a polygenic risk score that captures part of an individual's susceptibility to diseases. Polygenic risk scores have been widely applied in research studies,…

Impact of the gut microbiota on inflammation, obesity, and metabolic disease

Claire L. Boulangé, Ana Luísa Neves, Julien Chilloux et al. · 20 Apr 2016

The human gut harbors more than 100 trillion microbial cells, which have an essential role in human metabolic regulation via their symbiotic interactions with the host. Altered gut microbial ecosystems have been associated with increased metabolic and immune disorders in animals and humans. Molecular interactions linking the gut microbiota with host energy metabolism, lipid accumulation,…

Genome Medicine template — frequently asked questions

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