Automated annotation of microbial proteomes in SWISS-PROT

TL;DR: The HAMAP project, or 'High-quality Automated and Manual Annotation of microbial Proteomes', aims to integrate manual and automatic annotation methods in order to enhance the speed of the curation process while preserving the quality of the database annotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila Trithorax protein is a coactivator required to prevent re-establishment of Polycomb silencing

TL;DR: Targeting a GAL-TRX fusion shows that TRX is a coactivator that stimulates expression of an active gene but cannot initiate expression by itself, suggesting that deacetylation is required to establish the memory of the repressed state.
Journal ArticleDOI

ProRule: a new database containing functional and structural information on PROSITE profiles

TL;DR: A new database, ProRule, is created, which contains additional information about PROSITE profiles that contains notably the position of structurally and/or functionally critical amino acids, as well as the condition they must fulfill to play their biological role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lisandra Aguilar Bultet, +676 more
TL;DR: An overview of S IB's resources and competence areas is provided, with a strong focus on curated databases and SIB's most popular and widely used resources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Annotation of biologically relevant ligands in UniProtKB using ChEBI

TL;DR: Improved search and query facilities for cognate ligands in the UniProt website, REST API and SPARQL endpoint that leverage the chemical structure data, nomenclature, and classification that ChEBI provides are developed.
