Most-cited papers in Molecular and Cellular Biology

Recombinant genomes which express chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in mammalian cells.

C Gorman, Lindsey Moffat, Bruce H. Howard · 1 Sep 1982

We constructed a series of recombinant genomes which directed expression of the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) in mammalian cells. The prototype recombinant in this series, pSV2-cat, consisted of the beta-lactamase gene and origin of replication from pBR322 coupled to a simian virus 40 (SV40) early transcription region into which CAT coding sequences were inserted. Readily…

High-efficiency transformation of mammalian cells by plasmid DNA.

C Chen, Hiroto Okayama · 1 Aug 1987

We describe a simple calcium phosphate transfection protocol and neo marker vectors that achieve highly efficient transformation of mammalian cells. In this protocol, the calcium phosphate-DNA complex is formed gradually in the medium during incubation with cells and precipitates on the cells. The crucial factors for obtaining efficient transformation are the pH (6.95) of the…

Activation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Transcription by Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1

Jo A. Forsythe, Bing‐Hua Jiang, Narayan V. Iyer et al. · 1 Sep 1996

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is induced in cells exposed to hypoxia or ischemia. Neovascularization stimulated by VEGF occurs in several important clinical contexts, including myocardial ischemia, retinal disease, and tumor growth. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a heterodimeric basic helix-loop-helix protein that activates transcription of the human erythropoietin gene in hypoxic cells.…

Correlation between Protein and mRNA Abundance in Yeast

Steven P. Gygi, Yvan Rochon, B. Robert Franza et al. · 1 Mar 1999

We have determined the relationship between mRNA and protein expression levels for selected genes expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing at mid-log phase. The proteins contained in total yeast cell lysate were separated by high-resolution two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis. Over 150 protein spots were excised and identified by capillary liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).…

Recombinant Genomes Which Express Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase in Mammalian Cells

Cornelia M. Gorman, Leslie F. Moffat, Bruce H. Howard · 1 Sep 1982

The prototype recombinant in this series, pSV2-cat, consisted of the beta-lactamase gene and origin of replication from pBR322 coupled to a simian virus 40 (SV40) early transcription region into which CAT coding sequences were inserted.

Molecular and Cellular Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecular and Cellular Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecular and Cellular Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecular and Cellular Biology use?
Molecular and Cellular Biology uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) 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, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Molecular and Cellular Biology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecular and Cellular Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Molecular and Cellular 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 Molecular and Cellular Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecular and Cellular Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Molecular and Cellular Biology?
Molecular and Cellular Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Molecular and Cellular Biology template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Molecular and Cellular Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Molecular and Cellular Biology template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Molecular and Cellular Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Molecular and Cellular Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Molecular and Cellular Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
