Mendelian randomization: genetic anchors for causal inference in epidemiological studies

George Davey Smith, Gibran Hemani · 4 Jul 2014

Observational epidemiological studies are prone to confounding, reverse causation and various biases and have generated findings that have proved to be unreliable indicators of the causal effects of modifiable exposures on disease outcomes. Mendelian randomization (MR) is a method that utilizes genetic variants that are robustly associated with such modifiable exposures to generate more reliable…

Non-coding RNA

John S. Mattick, Igor V. Makunin · 15 Apr 2006

The term non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is commonly employed for RNA that does not encode a protein, but this does not mean that such RNAs do not contain information nor have function. Although it has been generally assumed that most genetic information is transacted by proteins, recent evidence suggests that the majority of the genomes of…

The DNA methyltransferases of mammals

Timothy H. Bestor · 1 Oct 2000

The biological significance of 5-methylcytosine was in doubt for many years, but is no longer. Through targeted mutagenesis in mice it has been learnt that every protein shown by biochemical tests to be involved in the establishment, maintenance or interpretation of genomic methylation patterns is encoded by an essential gene. A human genetic disorder (ICF…

Evaluating the potential role of pleiotropy in Mendelian randomization studies

Gibran Hemani, Jack Bowden, George Davey Smith · 10 May 2018

Pleiotropy, the phenomenon of a single genetic variant influencing multiple traits, is likely widespread in the human genome. If pleiotropy arises because the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) influences one trait, which in turn influences another ('vertical pleiotropy'), then Mendelian randomization (MR) can be used to estimate the causal influence between the traits. Of prime focus…

Molecular components of the mammalian circadian clock

Caroline H. Ko, Joseph S. Takahashi · 20 Sep 2006

Circadian rhythms are approximately 24-h oscillations in behavior and physiology, which are internally generated and function to anticipate the environmental changes associated with the solar day. A conserved transcriptional-translational autoregulatory loop generates molecular oscillations of 'clock genes' at the cellular level. In mammals, the circadian system is organized in a hierarchical manner, in which a…

Human Molecular Genetics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Human Molecular Genetics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Human Molecular Genetics 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 Human Molecular Genetics use?
Human Molecular Genetics 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, Human Molecular Genetics 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Human Molecular Genetics?
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 Human Molecular Genetics 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 Human Molecular Genetics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Human Molecular Genetics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Human Molecular Genetics?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready Human Molecular Genetics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Human Molecular Genetics 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 Human Molecular Genetics template cost?
You can start writing in the Human Molecular Genetics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Human Molecular Genetics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
