MEGA3: Integrated software for Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis and sequence alignment

Sudhir Kumar · 1 Jan 2004

With its theoretical basis firmly established in molecular evolutionary and population genetics, the comparative DNA and protein sequence analysis plays a central role in reconstructing the evolutionary histories of species and multigene families, estimating rates of molecular evolution, and inferring the nature and extent of selective forces shaping the evolution of genes and genomes. The…

Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV): high-performance genomics data visualization and exploration

Helga Thorvaldsdóttir, James Robinson, Jill P. Mesirov · 19 Apr 2012

Data visualization is an essential component of genomic data analysis. However, the size and diversity of the data sets produced by today's sequencing and array-based profiling methods present major challenges to visualization tools. The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance viewer that efficiently handles large heterogeneous data sets, while providing a smooth and intuitive…

MAFFT online service: multiple sequence alignment, interactive sequence choice and visualization

Kazutaka Katoh, John Rozewicki, Kazunori Yamada · 7 Aug 2017

This article describes several features in the MAFFT online service for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). As a result of recent advances in sequencing technologies, huge numbers of biological sequences are available and the need for MSAs with large numbers of sequences is increasing. To extract biologically relevant information from such data, sophistication of algorithms is…

Recent developments in the MAFFT multiple sequence alignment program

Kazutaka Katoh, Hidehiro Toh · 27 Mar 2008

The accuracy and scalability of multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of DNAs and proteins have long been and are still important issues in bioinformatics. To rapidly construct a reasonable MSA, we developed the initial version of the MAFFT program in 2002. MSA software is now facing greater challenges in both scalability and accuracy than those of…

MEGA: A biologist-centric software for evolutionary analysis of DNA and protein sequences

Sudhir Kumar, M Nei, Joel T. Dudley et al. · 27 Mar 2008

The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software is a desktop application designed for comparative analysis of homologous gene sequences either from multigene families or from different species with a special emphasis on inferring evolutionary relationships and patterns of DNA and protein evolution. In addition to the tools for statistical analysis of data, MEGA provides many…

What reference style does Briefings in Bioinformatics use?
Briefings in Bioinformatics uses Numbered (OUP) 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, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Briefings in Bioinformatics 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Briefings in Bioinformatics?
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 Briefings in Bioinformatics 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 Briefings in Bioinformatics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Briefings in Bioinformatics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Briefings in Bioinformatics?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready Briefings in Bioinformatics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Briefings in Bioinformatics template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
