- Results,
- Tables and Figures
The Scientific Manuscript Methods and Materials - Materials and Methods Overview:
- Give a clear overview of what was done
- Give enough information to replicate the study (like a recipe!)
- Be complete, but minimize complexity!
- Break into smaller sections with subheads
- Cite a reference for commonly used methods
- Display in a flow diagram where possible
- You may use jargon and the passive voice more liberally in the M&M section
- Report methods in past tense (“we measured”),
- But use present tense to describe how data are presented in the paper (“data are summarized as means SD”)
For sequencing, amplicons were purified with ExoSAP-Codes. The partial nucleotide sequences of the polymerase gene were aligned with published coronavirus sequences, using CLUSTAL W for Unix (version 1.7). - For sequencing, amplicons were purified with ExoSAP-Codes.
