cytoHubba: identifying hub objects and sub-networks from complex interactome

Chia-Hao Chin, Shu-Hwa Chen, Hsin-Hung Wu et al. · 1 Dec 2014

BACKGROUND: Network is a useful way for presenting many types of biological data including protein-protein interactions, gene regulations, cellular pathways, and signal transductions. We can measure nodes by their network features to infer their importance in the network, and it can help us identify central elements of biological networks. RESULTS: We introduce a novel Cytoscape…

COBRApy: COnstraints-Based Reconstruction and Analysis for Python

Ali Ebrahim, Joshua A. Lerman, Bernhard Ø. Palsson et al. · 8 Aug 2013

BACKGROUND: COnstraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA) methods are widely used for genome-scale modeling of metabolic networks in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Due to the successes with metabolism, there is an increasing effort to apply COBRA methods to reconstruct and analyze integrated models of cellular processes. The COBRA Toolbox for MATLAB is a leading software package…

Eigengene networks for studying the relationships between co-expression modules

Peter Langfelder, Steve Horvath · 21 Nov 2007

BACKGROUND: There is evidence that genes and their protein products are organized into functional modules according to cellular processes and pathways. Gene co-expression networks have been used to describe the relationships between gene transcripts. Ample literature exists on how to detect biologically meaningful modules in networks but there is a need for methods that allow…

BioModels Database: An enhanced, curated and annotated resource for published quantitative kinetic models

Chen Li, Marco Donizelli, Nicolás Rodríguez et al. · 29 Jun 2010

BACKGROUND: Quantitative models of biochemical and cellular systems are used to answer a variety of questions in the biological sciences. The number of published quantitative models is growing steadily thanks to increasing interest in the use of models as well as the development of improved software systems and the availability of better, cheaper computer hardware.…

Structural and functional analysis of cellular networks with CellNetAnalyzer

Steffen Klamt, Julio Sáez-Rodríguez, Ernst D Gilles · 8 Jan 2007

BACKGROUND: Mathematical modelling of cellular networks is an integral part of Systems Biology and requires appropriate software tools. An important class of methods in Systems Biology deals with structural or topological (parameter-free) analysis of cellular networks. So far, software tools providing such methods for both mass-flow (metabolic) as well as signal-flow (signalling and regulatory) networks…

BMC Systems Biology template — frequently asked questions

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