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.

Comprehensive comparison of large-scale tissue expression datasets

TL;DR: A comprehensive evaluation of tissue expression data from a variety of experimental techniques is presented and it is found that most datasets support the assumed but not demonstrated distinction between tissue-specific and ubiquitous expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deregulation of glycolysis in cancer: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as a therapeutic target

TL;DR: The role of GAPDH in carcinogenesis and the possibility of using this target for anticancer therapy is focused on and limitations of this approach may come from the versatility of the GAPDh enzyme, since it combines glycolytic, pro-apoptotic and other activities.

Selective loss of smaller spines in Schizophrenia

TL;DR: Findings require a rethinking of the overpruning hypothesis, demonstrate a link between small spine loss and a schizophrenia risk gene, and should spur more in-depth investigations of the mechanisms that govern new or small spine generation and stabilization under normal conditions as well as how this process is impaired in schizophrenia.

Biological Databases for Human Research

TL;DR: A collection of human-related biological databases is presented and a mini-review is provided by classifying them into different categories according to their data types to address challenges ahead in big data storage, processing, exchange and curation.

PARP12, an Interferon-stimulated Gene Involved in the Control of Protein Translation and Inflammation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PARP12 is a genuine ISG, whose expressed protein displays at least two distinct subcellular locations and related functions, and which mediates two important effector mechanisms linked to the establishment of an anti-viral state.

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.
