Abstract
Online gene annotation resources are indispensable for analysis of genomics data. However, the landscape of these online resources is highly fragmented, and scientists often visit dozens of these sites for each gene in a candidate gene list. Here, we introduce BioGPS http://biogps.gnf.org, a centralized gene portal for aggregating distributed gene annotation resources. Moreover, BioGPS embraces the principle of community intelligence, enabling any user to easily and directly contribute to the BioGPS platform.

Diversity Outbred Mice Identify Population-Based Exposure Thresholds and Genetic Factors that Influence Benzene-Induced Genotoxicity.

TL;DR: The identification of sulfotransferases as candidate genes suggests that DO mice may provide additional insight into benzene-induced genotoxicity, and the genetically diverse DO mice provided a reproducible response to benzene exposure.

Calling in SYK: SYK's dual role as a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor in cancer.

TL;DR: In cancers of non-immune cells, SYK provides a pro-survival signal, but can also suppress tumorigenesis by restricting epithelial-mesenchymal transition, enhancing cell-cell interactions and inhibiting migration.

A role for PVRL4-driven cell–cell interactions in tumorigenesis

TL;DR: Pavlova et al. as discussed by the authors found that the poliovirus receptor-like 4 (PVRL4) allows attachment-free cell growth and also makes cells cluster together once detached from the extracellular matrix.

MERAV: a tool for comparing gene expression across human tissues and cell types

TL;DR: The Metabolic gEne RApid Visualizer (MERAV, http://merav.mit.edu), a web-based tool that can query a database comprising ∼4300 microarrays, representing human gene expression in normal tissues, cancer cell lines and primary tumors, is presented.

Most mammalian mRNAs are conserved targets of microRNAs

TL;DR: This work overhauled its tool for finding preferential conservation of sequence motifs and applied it to the analysis of human 3'UTRs, increasing by nearly threefold the detected number of preferentially conserved miRNA target sites.

KEGG for linking genomes to life and the environment

TL;DR: KEGG PATHWAY is now supplemented with a new global map of metabolic pathways, which is essentially a combined map of about 120 existing pathway maps, and the KEGG resource is being expanded to suit the needs for practical applications.

Genome-wide atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain

Ed S. Lein, +109 more
- 11 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive digital atlas containing the expression patterns of ∼20,000 genes in the adult mouse brain is described, providing an open, primary data resource for a wide variety of further studies concerning brain organization and function.

A gene atlas of the mouse and human protein-encoding transcriptomes

TL;DR: In this paper, high-density oligonucleotide arrays offer the opportunity to examine patterns of gene expression on a genome scale, and the authors have designed custom arrays that interrogate the expression of the vast majority of proteinencoding human and mouse genes and have used them to profile a panel of 79 human and 61 mouse tissues.

STRING 8—a global view on proteins and their functional interactions in 630 organisms

TL;DR: The most important new developments in STRING 8 over previous releases include a URL-based programming interface, improved interaction prediction via genomic neighborhood in prokaryotes, and the inclusion of protein structures.
