Protein Analysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships (PANTHER) is a comprehensive software system for inferring the functions of genes based on their evolutionary relationships, resulting in an increasing number of curated functional annotations.Abstract:
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

LTF, PRTN3, and MNDA in Synovial Fluid as Promising Biomarkers for Periprosthetic Joint Infection: Identification by Quadrupole Orbital-Trap Mass Spectrometry.
TL;DR: This proteomic study identified a previously noted protein and 2 novel candidate proteins as promising synovial fluid biomarkers for PJI diagnosis, and they should be further validated in future clinical trials.

Temperature threshold of isoprene emission from tropical trees, Ficus virgata and Ficus septica.
TL;DR: The existence of temperature threshold in isoprene emission from tropical trees for the first time is described, which suggested the existence of putative direct connection between perception of temperature and isopren emission in tropical trees, which may merit further investigation to estimate the net output of isobrene from subtropical or tropical forest.

TL;DR: TEM demonstrated that aPL bind to mitochondria in the syncytiotrophoblast and may cause mitochondrial swelling, which may trigger endothelial dysfunction and pre-eclampsia in these pregnancies.

Modeling of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis-mediated interaction between the serotonin regulation pathway and the stress response using a Boolean approximation: a novel study of depression.
TL;DR: In this paper, a synchronous Boolean network (SBN) approximation was used to analyze the interaction between the pathways, taking into consideration the presence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), in order to observe how the pathways interact and to examine if the system is stable.

TL;DR: The PANTHER/X ontology is used to give a high-level representation of gene function across the human and mouse genomes, and the family HMMs are used to rank missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) according to their likelihood of affecting protein function.
