<i>OptM</i>: estimating the optimal number of migration edges on population trees using <i>Treemix</i>

Robert R. Fitak · 1 Jan 2021

Abstract The software Treemix has become extensively used to estimate the number of migration events, or edges (m), on population trees from genome-wide allele frequency data. However, the appropriate number of edges to include remains unclear. Here, I show that an optimal value of m can be inferred from the second-order rate of change in…

Rapid and inexpensive whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 using 1200 bp tiled amplicons and Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcoding

Nikki E. Freed, Markéta Vlková, Muhammad Faisal et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Abstract Rapid and cost-efficient whole-genome sequencing of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, is critical for understanding viral transmission dynamics. Here we show that using a new multiplexed set of primers in conjunction with the Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcode library kit allows for faster, simpler, and less…

Digging deeper into volatile organic compounds associated with cancer

Sajjad Janfaza, Babak Khorsand, Maryam Nikkhah et al. · 1 Jan 2019

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), produced and emitted through the metabolism of cancer cells or the body's immune system, are considered novel cancer biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. Of late, a large number of work has been done to find a relationship between VOCs' signature of body and cancer. Cancer-related VOCs can be used to detect several…

An improved method for measuring catalase activity in biological samples

Mahmoud Hussein Hadwan, Marwah Jaber Hussein, Rawa M. Mohammed et al. · 1 Jan 2024

Abstract Catalase (CAT) is an important enzyme that protects biomolecules against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen. CAT is present in all aerobic microbes, animals, and plants. It is, however, absent from normal human urine but can be detected in pathological urine. CAT testing can thus help to detect…

Rapid and real-time identification of fungi up to species level with long amplicon nanopore sequencing from clinical samples

Sara D’Andreano, Anna Cuscó, Olga Francino · 19 Dec 2020

Abstract The availability of long-read technologies, like Oxford Nanopore Technologies, provides the opportunity to sequence longer fragments of the fungal ribosomal operon, up to 6 Kb (18S-ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-28S) and to improve the taxonomy assignment of the communities up to species level and in real-time. We assess the applicability for taxonomic assignment of amplicons targeting a 3.5…

Biology Methods and Protocols template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biology Methods and Protocols format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biology Methods and Protocols template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biology Methods and Protocols use?
Biology Methods and Protocols uses Author–year (OUP) 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', Biology Methods and Protocols, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biology Methods and Protocols?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Biology Methods and Protocols 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 Biology Methods and Protocols template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biology Methods and Protocols format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Biology Methods and Protocols?
Biology Methods and Protocols is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Biology Methods and Protocols template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biology Methods and Protocols PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biology Methods and Protocols template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biology Methods and Protocols template cost?
You can start writing in the Biology Methods and Protocols template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biology Methods and Protocols PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
