Journals are increasingly making available their templates, and Overleaf now has templates for mSystems, PeerJ, PLOS, Scientific Reports, PNAS (shown below), and many more. It seems like LaTeX templates are used quite widely in other disciplines, so biologists are finally catching up, hurray!
Overleaf has templates for a variety of document types, including journal articles.
I need to thank John again because he also introduced me to Overleaf, an online LaTeX editor that facilitates collaborative writing.
I used to use a LaTeX editor on Windows/Ubuntu before the major shift to The Cloud.

I was impressed with the high-quality committee reports he generated and remember thinking: wow, I’ve got to learn this. I attribute learning LaTeX to another graduate student in Trevor Charles‘ lab who taught me many things, John Heil. I’ve actually written about LaTeX before (my most viewed post, actually!), where I discussed a solution to an italicization issue with Mendeley’s BibTeX output. I like the programmatic approach to writing, the exquisite control in typesetting, and the satisfaction of a beautifully rendered document.
