The RIN: an RNA integrity number for assigning integrity values to RNA measurements

Andreas Schröeder, Odilo Mueller, Susanne Stocker et al. · 31 Jan 2006

BACKGROUND: The integrity of RNA molecules is of paramount importance for experiments that try to reflect the snapshot of gene expression at the moment of RNA extraction. Until recently, there has been no reliable standard for estimating the integrity of RNA samples and the ratio of 28S:18S ribosomal RNA, the common measure for this purpose,…

Selection of housekeeping genes for gene expression studies in human reticulocytes using real-time PCR

Nicholas Silver, Steve Best, Jie Jiang et al. · 6 Oct 2006

BACKGROUND: Control genes, which are often referred to as housekeeping genes, are frequently used to normalise mRNA levels between different samples. However, the expression level of these genes may vary among tissues or cells and may change under certain circumstances. Thus, the selection of housekeeping genes is critical for gene expression studies. To address this…

Identification and validation of reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR normalization in wheat

Anna Rita Paolacci, O. A. Tanzarella, E. Porceddu et al. · 20 Feb 2009

BACKGROUND: Usually the reference genes used in gene expression analysis have been chosen for their known or suspected housekeeping roles, however the variation observed in most of them hinders their effective use. The assessed lack of validated reference genes emphasizes the importance of a systematic study for their identification. For selecting candidate reference genes we…

Characterization of housekeeping genes in zebrafish: male-female differences and effects of tissue type, developmental stage and chemical treatment

Amy McCurley, Gloria V. Callard · 1 Jan 2008

BACKGROUND: Research using the zebrafish model has experienced a rapid growth in recent years. Although real-time reverse transcription PCR (QPCR), normalized to an internal reference ("housekeeping") gene, is a frequently used method for quantifying gene expression changes in zebrafish, many commonly used housekeeping genes are known to vary with experimental conditions. To identify housekeeping genes…

BMC Molecular Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Molecular Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Molecular Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Molecular Biology use?
BMC Molecular Biology uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. BMC Molecular Biology 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Molecular Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready BMC Molecular Biology 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 BMC Molecular Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Molecular Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes BMC Molecular Biology?
BMC Molecular Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's BMC Molecular Biology template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Molecular Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Molecular Biology template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Molecular Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Molecular Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Molecular Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
