BioGPS http://biogps.gnf.org is introduced, a centralized gene portal for aggregating distributed gene annotation resources, and embraces the principle of community intelligence, enabling any user to easily and directly contribute to the BioGPS platform.
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.

PINK1 signalling in cancer biology.

TL;DR: The function of PINK1 in cancer cell biology is reviewed, with an emphasis on the mechanisms by which PPink1 interacts with PI3-kinase/Akt signalling, mitochondrial homeostasis, and the potential context-dependent pro- and anti-tumorigenic functions of Pink1.

Jmjd6, a JmjC Dioxygenase with Many Interaction Partners and Pleiotropic Functions.

TL;DR: This review summarizes knowledge of JMJD6 functions that have emerged in the last 15 years and considers how a single Jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing enzyme can target so many different substrates.

AKR1B10, a Transcriptional Target of p53, Is Downregulated in Colorectal Cancers Associated with Poor Prognosis

TL;DR: Lower expression of aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B10 (AKR1B10) is found to be a novel prognostic predictor and a novel therapeutic target for colorectal cancer, suggesting that decreased expression of AKR 1B10 could disrupt the tumor suppressive function of p53, which result in decreased survival in coloreCTal cancer patients.

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.
