BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ bib file and cite style

[pallav]

I want to use bib file for the first time to obtain references. I have made a .bib file

Code: Select all

@article{moss1997csd,
  title={{The Cold Shock Domain Protein LIN-28 Controls Developmental Timing in C. elegans and Is Regulated by the lin-4 RNA}},
  author={Moss, E.G. and Lee, R.C. and Ambros, V.},
  journal={Cell},
  volume={88},
  pages={637--646},
  year={1997}
}


@article{viswanathan2009lin28,
  title={{Lin28 promotes transformation and is associated with advanced human malignancies}},
  author={Viswanathan, S.R. and Powers, J.T. and Einhorn, W. and Hoshida, Y. and Ng, T.L. and Toffanin, S. and O'Sullivan, M. and Lu, J. and Phillips, L.A. and Lockhart, V.L. and others},
  journal={Nature Genetics},
  volume={41},
  pages={843--848},
  year={2009},
  publisher={Nature Publishing Group}
}


@article{kato2009mir,
  title={{The mir-34 microRNA is required for the DNA damage response in vivo in C. elegans and in vitro in human breast cancer cells}},
  author={Kato, M. and Paranjape, T. and Ullrich, R. and Nallur, S. and Gillespie, E. and Keane, K. and Esquela-Kerscher, A. and Weidhaas, JB and Slack, FJ},
  journal={Oncogene},
  volume={28},
  pages={2419--2424},
  year={2009},
  publisher={Nature Publishing Group}
}

each of which I get from google. I cite them in my tex file also. 1st I run the bib and then the tex. I got the pdf ok though I got some error in bib (no error in tex). Is it right? How to write the bib to avoid error in bib file?

2nd problem:[quote][/quote]
In the tex, I have use

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

or

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}

Please give me the all other possible style to cite the references.


Waiting for the valuable reply at the earliest conveniance.

We need more detail, for example what errors you see. I have no issues with

In terms of styles, there are already lots about. The usual is to pick one for your subject area. Name some journals you might use as a model.

Helped by your code. I had not used the 1st and last part of your code.

Please give some styles of ref. I will then be much benifited.
