Juicer Provides a One-Click System for Analyzing Loop-Resolution Hi-C Experiments

Neva C. Durand, Muhammad S. Shamim, Ido Machol et al. · 1 Jul 2016

Hi-C experiments explore the 3D structure of the genome, generating terabases of data to create high-resolution contact maps. Here, we introduce Juicer, an open-source tool for analyzing terabase-scale Hi-C datasets. Juicer allows users without a computational background to transform raw sequence data into normalized contact maps with one click. Juicer produces a hic file containing…

Juicebox Provides a Visualization System for Hi-C Contact Maps with Unlimited Zoom

Neva C. Durand, James Robinson, Muhammad S. Shamim et al. · 1 Jul 2016

Hi-C experiments study how genomes fold in 3D, generating contact maps containing features as small as 20 bp and as large as 200 Mb. Here we introduce Juicebox, a tool for exploring Hi-C and other contact map data. Juicebox allows users to zoom in and out of Hi-C maps interactively, just as a user of…

Cell Systems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cell Systems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cell Systems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cell Systems use?
Cell Systems uses Numbered (Elsevier) 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] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Cell Systems 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cell Systems?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Cell Systems 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 Cell Systems template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cell Systems format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Cell Systems?
Cell Systems is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Cell Systems template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Cell Systems PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cell Systems template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cell Systems template cost?
You can start writing in the Cell Systems template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cell Systems PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
