SFARI Gene 2.0: a community-driven knowledgebase for the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)

Brett S. Abrahams, Dan E. Arking, Jerry L. Campbell et al. · 3 Oct 2013

New technologies enabling genome-wide interrogation have led to a large and rapidly growing number of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) candidate genes. Although encouraging, the volume and complexity of these data make it challenging for scientists, particularly non-geneticists, to comprehensively evaluate available evidence for individual genes. Described here is the Gene Scoring module within SFARI Gene…

Risk markers for suicidality in autistic adults

Sarah Cassidy, Louise Bradley, Rebecca Shaw et al. · 31 Jul 2018

Background: this is the case. Many common experiences of autistic adults, such as depression or unemployment, overlap with known risk markers for suicide in the general population. However, it is unknown whether there are risk markers unique to ASC that require new tailored suicide prevention strategies. Methods: Through consultation with a steering group of autistic…

Haploinsufficiency of the autism-associated Shank3 gene leads to deficits in synaptic function, social interaction, and social communication

Ozlem Bozdagi, Takeshi Sakurai, Danae Papapetrou et al. · 1 Dec 2010

BACKGROUND: SHANK3 is a protein in the core of the postsynaptic density (PSD) and has a critical role in recruiting many key functional elements to the PSD and to the synapse, including components of α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA), metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) glutamate receptors, as well as cytoskeletal elements. Loss of a functional…

Sex and gender differences in autism spectrum disorder: summarizing evidence gaps and identifying emerging areas of priority

Alycia Halladay, Somer Bishop, John N. Constantino et al. · 12 Jun 2015

One of the most consistent findings in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research is a higher rate of ASD diagnosis in males than females. Despite this, remarkably little research has focused on the reasons for this disparity. Better understanding of this sex difference could lead to major advancements in the prevention or treatment of ASD in…

Blood–brain barrier and intestinal epithelial barrier alterations in autism spectrum disorders

Maria Fiorentino, Anna Sapone, Stefania Senger et al. · 29 Nov 2016

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex conditions whose pathogenesis may be attributed to gene–environment interactions. There are no definitive mechanisms explaining how environmental triggers can lead to ASD although the involvement of inflammation and immunity has been suggested. Inappropriate antigen trafficking through an impaired intestinal barrier, followed by passage of these antigens or immune-activated complexes…

Molecular Autism template — frequently asked questions

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