Protein Analysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships (PANTHER) is a comprehensive software system for inferring the functions of genes based on their evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic trees of gene families form the basis for PANTHER and these trees are annotated with ontology terms describing the evolution of gene function from ancestral to modern day genes. One of the main applications of PANTHER is in accurate prediction of the functions of uncharacterized genes, based on their evolutionary relationships to genes with functions known from experiment. The PANTHER website, freely available at http://www.pantherdb.org, also includes software tools for analyzing genomic data relative to known and inferred gene functions. Since 2007, there have been several new developments to PANTHER: (i) improved phylogenetic trees, explicitly representing speciation and gene duplication events, (ii) identification of gene orthologs, including least diverged orthologs (best one-to-one pairs), (iii) coverage of more genomes (48 genomes, up to 87% of genes in each genome; see http://www.pantherdb.org/panther/summaryStats.jsp), (iv) improved support for alternative database identifiers for genes, proteins and microarray probes and (v) adoption of the SBGN standard for display of biological pathways. In addition, PANTHER trees are being annotated with gene function as part of the Gene Ontology Reference Genome project, resulting in an increasing number of curated functional annotations.read more

TL;DR: Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and mRNA sequencing at seven developmental stages shows that the most substantial changes in the proteome take place towards later stages, between the morula and blastocyst, consistent with the cytoplasmic lattice-to-free ribosome transition being a key mediator of developmental regulation.

TL;DR: This study underscores alternative promoter usage as an important mechanism for determining the regional differences in gene expression at old age by using high-throughput cap analysis of gene expression to profile the transcription start sites and to quantify the differences across the 5 brain regions.
