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

Computational Methods to Work as First-Pass Filter in Deleterious SNP Analysis of Alkaptonuria
R. Magesh,C. George Priya Doss +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis used the existing computational methods to explore the mutation-structure-function relationship in HGD gene causing alkaptonuria and attempted these methods to work as first-pass filter to identify the deleterious substitutions worth pursuing for further experimental research.

Characterization of an M28 metalloprotease family member residing in the yeast vacuole
TL;DR: The data indicate that Ybr074 is the only multispanning vacuolar membrane protease found in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and it is shown that disrupting YBR074 function affects the levels of select factors implicated in vacUolar trafficking and osmoregulation.
