\firstpage{12}
% Use \firstpage to indicate which paragraph and line will start the second page and subsequent formatting. In this example, there are a total of 11 paragraphs on the first page, counting the first level heading as a paragraph. The value {12} represents the number of the paragraph starting the second page. If a paragraph runs over onto the second page, include a bracket with the paragraph line number starting the second page, followed by the paragraph number in curly brackets, e.g. "\firstpage[4]{11}".
% If your first paragraph (i.e. with the \dropcap) contains a list environment (quote, quotation, theorem, definition, enumerate, itemize...), the line after the list may have some extra indentation. If this is the case, add \parshape=0 to the end of the list environment.
\dropcap{T}his PNAS journal template is provided to help you write your work in the correct journal format. Instructions for use are provided below.
Note: please start your introduction without including the word ``Introduction'' as a section heading (except for math articles in the Physical Sciences section); this heading is implied in the first paragraph.
\section*{Guide to using this template on Overleaf}
Please note that whilst this template provides a preview of the typeset manuscript for submission, to help in this preparation, it will not necessarily be the final publication layout. For more detailed information please see the \href{ https://www.pnas.org/page/authors/format}{PNAS Information for Authors}.
If you have a question while using this template on Overleaf, please use the help menu (``?'') on the top bar to search for \href{https://www.overleaf.com/help}{help and tutorials}. You can also \href{https://www.overleaf.com/contact}{contact the Overleaf support team} at any time with specific questions about your manuscript or feedback on the template.
\subsection*{Author Affiliations}
Include department, institution, and complete address, with the ZIP/postal code, for each author. Use lower case letters to match authors with institutions, as shown in the example. PNAS strongly encourages authors to supply an \href{https://orcid.org/}{ORCID identifier} for each author. Individual authors must link their ORCID account to their PNAS account at \href{http://www.pnascentral.org/}{www.pnascentral.org}. For proper authentication, authors must provide their ORCID at submission and are not permitted to add ORCIDs on proofs.
\subsection*{Submitting Manuscripts}
All authors must submit their articles at \href{http://www.pnascentral.org/cgi-bin/main.plex}{PNAScentral}. If you are using Overleaf to write your article, you can use the ``Submit to PNAS'' option in the top bar of the editor window.
\subsection*{Format}
Many authors find it useful to organize their manuscripts with the following order of sections: title, author line and affiliations, keywords, abstract, introduction, results, discussion, materials and methods, acknowledgments, and references. Other orders and headings are permitted.
\subsection*{Manuscript Length}
Brief Reports are limited to 3 pages, which is approximately 1,600 words (including the manuscript text, title page, abstract, and figure legends), and 15 references. Supporting information (SI) is limited to extended methods, essential supporting datasets, and videos (no additional tables or figures).
\subsection*{References}
References should be cited in numerical order as they appear in text; this will be done automatically via bibtex, e.g. \cite{belkin2002using} and \cite{berard1994embedding,coifman2005geometric,phdthesis,masterthesis}. All references cited in the main text should be included in the main manuscript file.
\subsection*{Data Archival}
PNAS must be able to archive the data essential to a published article. Where such archiving is not possible, deposition of data in public databases, such as GenBank, ArrayExpress, Protein Data Bank, Unidata, and others outlined in the \href{https://www.pnas.org/author-center/editorial-and-journal-policies#materials-and-data-availability}{Information for Authors}, is acceptable.
\subsection*{Language-Editing Services}
Prior to submission, authors who believe their manuscripts would benefit from professional editing are encouraged to use a language-editing service (see list at https://www.pnas.org/author-center/language-editing). PNAS does not take responsibility for or endorse these services, and their use has no bearing on acceptance of a manuscript for publication.

\subsection*{Digital Figures}
EPS, high-resolution PDF, and PowerPoint are preferred formats for figures that will be used in the main manuscript. Authors may submit PRC or U3D files for 3D images; these must be accompanied by 2D representations in TIFF, EPS, or high-resolution PDF format. Color images must be in RGB (red, green, blue) mode. Include the font files for any text.
Images must be provided at final size, preferably 1 column width (8.7cm). Figures wider than 1 column should be sized to 11.4cm or 17.8cm wide. Numbers, letters, and symbols should be no smaller than 6 points (2mm) and no larger than 12 points (6mm) after reduction and must be consistent.
Figures and tables should be labelled and referenced in the standard way using the \verb|\label{}| and \verb|\ref{}| commands.
Figure \ref{fig:frog} shows an example of how to insert a column-wide figure. To insert a figure wider than one column, please use the \verb|\begin{figure*}...\end{figure*}| environment. Figures wider than one column should be sized to 11.4 cm or 17.8 cm wide. Use \verb|\begin{SCfigure*}...\end{SCfigure*}| for a wide figure with side legends.
\subsection*{Tables}
Tables should be included in the main manuscript file and should not be uploaded separately.
\subsection*{Single column equations}
Authors may use 1- or 2-column equations in their article, according to their preference.
To allow an equation to span both columns, use the \verb|\begin{figure*}...\end{figure*}| environment mentioned above for figures.
Note that the use of the \verb|widetext| environment for equations is not recommended, and should not be used.

\end{align*}
\end{figure*}
\subsection*{Supporting Information (SI)}
Authors are limited to the following types of SI: extended methods, datasets, videos, and 3D figures. Extended discussion is not permitted.
\subsection*{SI Appendix}
Supply extended materials and methods information in a separate SI Appendix PDF file. Include SI movie legends. SI will be published as provided by the authors; it will not be edited or composed. Supplementary figures and tables are not allowed.
\subsubsection*{SI Datasets}
Supply .xlsx, .csv, .txt, .rtf, or .pdf files. This file type will be published in raw format and will not be edited or composed.
\subsubsection*{SI Movies}
Supply Audio Video Interleave (avi), Quicktime (mov), Windows Media (wmv), animated GIF (gif), or MPEG files and and include a brief legend for each movie in the main manuscript file. All movies should be submitted at the desired reproduction size and length. Movies should be no more than 10 MB in size.
