Most-cited papers in Genome Biology and Evolution

A Phylogenomic View of Ecological Specialization in the Lachnospiraceae, a Family of Digestive Tract-Associated Bacteria

Conor J. Meehan, Robert G. Beiko · 1 Mar 2014

Several bacterial families are known to be highly abundant within the human microbiome, but their ecological roles and evolutionary histories have yet to be investigated in depth. One such family, Lachnospiraceae (phylum Firmicutes, class Clostridia) is abundant in the digestive tracts of many mammals and relatively rare elsewhere. Members of this family have been linked…

Comparative Genomics of the Odorant-Binding and Chemosensory Protein Gene Families across the Arthropoda: Origin and Evolutionary History of the Chemosensory System

Filipe Garrett Vieira, Julio Rozas · 1 Jan 2011

Chemoreception is a biological process essential for the survival of animals, as it allows the recognition of important volatile cues for the detection of food, egg-laying substrates, mates, or predators, among other purposes. Furthermore, its role in pheromone detection may contribute to evolutionary processes, such as reproductive isolation and speciation. This key role in several…

On the Immortality of Television Sets: "Function" in the Human Genome According to the Evolution-Free Gospel of ENCODE

Dan Graur, Yichen Zheng, Nicholas C. Price et al. · 20 Feb 2013

A recent slew of ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium publications, specifically the article signed by all Consortium members, put forward the idea that more than 80% of the human genome is functional. This claim flies in the face of current estimates according to which the fraction of the genome that is evolutionarily conserved through…

Comparative Analysis of Transposable Elements Highlights Mobilome Diversity and Evolution in Vertebrates

Domitille Chalopin, Magali Naville, Floriane Plard et al. · 9 Jan 2015

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of vertebrate genomes, with major roles in genome architecture and evolution. In order to characterize both common patterns and lineage-specific differences in TE content and TE evolution, we have compared the mobilomes of 23 vertebrate genomes, including 10 actinopterygian fish, 11 sarcopterygians, and 2 nonbony vertebrates. We found important…

Functional Convergence in Reduced Genomes of Bacterial Symbionts Spanning 200 My of Evolution

John P. McCutcheon, Nancy A. Moran · 1 Jan 2010

The main genomic changes in the evolution of host-restricted microbial symbionts are ongoing inactivation and loss of genes combined with rapid sequence evolution and extreme structural stability; these changes reflect high levels of genetic drift due to small population sizes and strict clonality. This genomic erosion includes irreversible loss of genes in many functional categories…

Genome Biology and Evolution template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Genome Biology and Evolution format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Genome Biology and Evolution 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 Genome Biology and Evolution use?
Genome Biology and Evolution 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', Genome Biology and Evolution, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Genome Biology and Evolution?
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 Genome Biology and Evolution 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 Genome Biology and Evolution template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Genome Biology and Evolution format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Genome Biology and Evolution?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready Genome Biology and Evolution PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Genome Biology and Evolution 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 Genome Biology and Evolution template cost?
You can start writing in the Genome Biology and Evolution template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Genome Biology and Evolution PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
