Epidemiology of prostate cancer in India

Shalu Jain, Sunita Saxena, Anup Kumar · 29 Aug 2014

Data from national cancer registries shows that incidence of certain cancers are on rise in India. The cancers which are showing significant increase in incidence rates include prostate, mouth and kidney among male population, corpus uteri, breast and thyroid among female population and lung cancer in both male and female populations. In the present review…

Genetic model selection for a case–control study and a meta-analysis

Nobuyuki Horita, Takeshi Kaneko · 22 May 2015

A case-control study often compares the prevalence of a specific disease among persons with normal alleles and persons with variant alleles, which generates an odds ratio (OR). The most common type of allele variation, single-nucleotide polymorphism, consists of a major allele (M) and a minor allele (m). Thus, the genotype can be a major allele…

Genetic stability and phytochemical analysis of the in vitro regenerated plants of Dendrobium nobile Lindl., an endangered medicinal orchid

Paromik Bhattacharyya, Suman Kumaria, Reemavareen Diengdoh et al. · 15 Jul 2014

An efficient genetically stable regeneration protocol with increased phytochemical production has been established for Dendrobium nobile, a highly prized orchid for its economic and medicinal importance. Protocorm like bodies (PLBs) were induced from the pseudostem segments using thidiazuron (TDZ; 1.5 mg/l), by-passing the conventional auxin-cytokinin complement approach for plant regeneration. Although, PLB induction was observed…

Genome-wide identification and expression pattern of drought-responsive members of the NAC family in maize

Kaliyugam Shiriga, Rinku Sharma, Krishan Kumar et al. · 2 Jun 2014

NAC proteins are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs). Although they play a pivotal role in regulating distinct biological processes, TFs in maize are yet to be investigated comprehensively. Within the maize genome, we identified 152 putative NAC domain-encoding genes (ZmNACs), including eight membrane-bound members, by systematic sequence analysis and physically mapped them onto ten chromosomes of…

Expression profile of six stress-related genes and productive performances of fast and slow growing broiler strains reared under heat stress conditions

Simona Rimoldi, Emiliano Lasagna, Francesca Maria Sarti et al. · 31 Aug 2015

High temperature is one of the prominent environmental factors causing economic losses to the poultry industry as it negatively affects growth and production performance in broiler chickens. We used One Step TaqMan real time RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) technology to study the effects of chronic heat stress on the expression of genes codifying…

Meta Gene template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Meta Gene format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Meta Gene 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 Meta Gene use?
Meta Gene uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Meta Gene, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Meta Gene?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Meta Gene 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 Meta Gene template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Meta Gene format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Meta Gene?
Meta Gene is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Meta Gene template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Meta Gene PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Meta Gene template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Meta Gene template cost?
You can start writing in the Meta Gene template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Meta Gene PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
