Gene Set Knowledge Discovery with Enrichr

Zhuorui Xie, Allison Bailey, Maxim V. Kuleshov et al. · 1 Mar 2021

Profiling samples from patients, tissues, and cells with genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics ultimately produces lists of genes and proteins that need to be further analyzed and integrated in the context of known biology. Enrichr (Chen et al., 2013; Kuleshov et al., 2016) is a gene set search engine that enables the querying of…

BUSCO: Assessing Genomic Data Quality and Beyond

Mosè Manni, Matthew Berkeley, Mathieu Seppey et al. · 1 Dec 2021

Evaluation of the quality of genomic "data products" such as genome assemblies or gene sets is of critical importance in order to recognize possible issues and correct them during the generation of new data. It is equally essential to guide subsequent or comparative analyses with existing data, as the correct interpretation of the results necessarily…

Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Models in Mice and Rats

Brian L. Furman · 1 Apr 2021

Streptozotocin (STZ) is an antibiotic that causes pancreatic islet β-cell destruction and is widely used experimentally to produce a model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Detailed in this article are protocols for producing STZ-induced insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia in mice and rats. Also described are protocols for creating animal models for type 2 diabetes…

Exploring Epigenomic Datasets by ChIPseeker

Qianwen Wang, Ming Li, Tianzhi Wu et al. · 1 Oct 2022

In many aspects of life, epigenetics, or the altering of phenotype without changes in sequences, play an essential role in biological function. A vast number of epigenomic datasets are emerging as a result of the advent of next-generation sequencing. Annotation, comparison, visualization, and interpretation of epigenomic datasets remain key aspects of computational biology. ChIPseeker is…

Cap 1 Messenger RNA Synthesis with Co‐transcriptional CleanCap<sup>®</sup> Analog by In Vitro Transcription

Jordana M. Henderson, Andrew Ujita, Elizabeth M. Hill et al. · 1 Feb 2021

Abstract Synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA)−based therapeutics are an increasingly popular approach to gene and cell therapies, genome engineering, enzyme replacement therapy, and now, during the global SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, vaccine development. mRNA for such purposes can be synthesized through an enzymatic in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction and formulated for in vivo delivery. Mature mRNA requires a…

Current Protocols template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Current Protocols format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Current Protocols template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Current Protocols use?
Current Protocols uses Author–year (Chicago) 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." Current Protocols 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Current Protocols?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Current Protocols 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 Current Protocols template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Current Protocols format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Current Protocols?
Current Protocols is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Current Protocols template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Current Protocols PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Current Protocols template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Current Protocols template cost?
You can start writing in the Current Protocols template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Current Protocols PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
