Most-cited papers in Investigative Genetics

Forensic trace DNA: a review

R.A. van Oorschot, Kaye N. Ballantyne, R.J. Mitchell · 1 Jan 2010

DNA analysis is frequently used to acquire information from biological material to aid enquiries associated with criminal offences, disaster victim identification and missing persons investigations. As the relevance and value of DNA profiling to forensic investigations has increased, so too has the desire to generate this information from smaller amounts of DNA. Trace DNA samples…

DNA fingerprinting in botany: past, present, future

Hilde Nybom, Kurt Weising, Björn Rotter · 3 Jan 2014

Almost three decades ago Alec Jeffreys published his seminal Nature papers on the use of minisatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting of humans (Jeffreys and colleagues Nature 1985, 314:67-73 and Nature 1985, 316:76-79). The new technology was soon adopted for many other organisms including plants, and when Hilde Nybom, Kurt Weising and Alec Jeffreys first met…

Human paternal and maternal demographic histories: insights from high-resolution Y chromosome and mtDNA sequences

Sebastian Lippold, Hongyang Xu, Albert Min‐Shan Ko et al. · 24 Sep 2014

BACKGROUND: Comparisons of maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and paternally-inherited non-recombining Y chromosome (NRY) variation have provided important insights into the impact of sex-biased processes (such as migration, residence pattern, and so on) on human genetic variation. However, such comparisons have been limited by the different molecular methods typically used to assay mtDNA and NRY variation…

Analyses of a set of 128 ancestry informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms in a global set of 119 population samples

Judith R. Kidd, Françoise R. Friedlaender, William C. Speed et al. · 1 Jan 2011

BACKGROUND: Using DNA to determine an individual's ancestry from among human populations is generally interesting and useful for many purposes, including admixture mapping, controlling for population structure in disease or trait association studies and forensic ancestry inference. However, to estimate ancestry, including possible admixture within an individual, as well as heterogeneity within a group of…

Investigative Genetics template — frequently asked questions

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