Most-cited papers in Quantitative Biology

Identifying viruses from metagenomic data using deep learning

Jie Ren, Kai Song, Chao Deng et al. · 23 Jan 2020

BACKGROUND: The recent development of metagenomic sequencing makes it possible to massively sequence microbial genomes including viral genomes without the need for laboratory culture. Existing reference-based and gene homology-based methods are not efficient in identifying unknown viruses or short viral sequences from metagenomic data. METHODS: Here we developed a reference-free and alignment-free machine learning method,…

Progress in molecular docking

Jiyu Fan, Ailing Fu, Le Zhang · 8 May 2019

Background In recent years, since the molecular docking technique can greatly improve the efficiency and reduce the research cost, it has become a key tool in computer‐assisted drug design to predict the binding affinity and analyze the interactive mode. Results This study introduces the key principles, procedures and the widely‐used applications for molecular docking. Also,…

Modeling the epidemic dynamics and control of COVID‐19 outbreak in China

Shilei Zhao, Hua Chen · 1 Mar 2020

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rapidly spreading in China and more than 30 countries over last two months. COVID-19 has multiple characteristics distinct from other infectious diseases, including high infectivity during incubation, time delay between real dynamics and daily observed number of confirmed cases, and the intervention effects of implemented quarantine and control…

Target specificity of the CRISPR‐Cas9 system

Xuebing Wu, Andrea J. Kriz, Phillip A. Sharp · 26 Aug 2014

The CRISPR-Cas9 system, naturally a defense mechanism in prokaryotes, has been repurposed as an RNA-guided DNA targeting platform. It has been widely used for genome editing and transcriptome modulation, and has shown great promise in correcting mutations in human genetic diseases. Off-target effects are a critical issue for all of these applications. Here we review…

Performance measures in evaluating machine learning based bioinformatics predictors for classifications

Ya-Sen Jiao, Pu-Feng Du · 28 Nov 2016

Background Many existing bioinformatics predictors are based on machine learning technology. When applying these predictors in practical studies, their predictive performances should be well understood. Different performance measures are applied in various studies as well as different evaluation methods. Even for the same performance measure, different terms, nomenclatures or notations may appear in different context.…

Quantitative Biology template — frequently asked questions

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