Gene Ontology (GO), the de facto standard in gene functionality description, is used widely functional annotation and enrichment analysis. Here, we introduce agriGO, an integrated web-based GO analysis toolkit for agricultural community, using advantages of our previous tool (EasyGO), to meet demands from new technologies research objectives. EasyGO valuable its proficiency, has proved useful uncovering biological knowledge massive data sets high-throughput experiments. For system...

The agriGO platform, which has been serving the scientific community for >10 years, specifically focuses on gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses of plant and agricultural species. We continuously maintain update databases accommodate various requests our global users. Here, we present updated that a largely expanded number supporting species (394) datatypes (865). In addition, larger have classified into groups covering crops, vegetables, fish, birds insects closely related to community....

Abstract Mounting evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can function as microRNA sponges and compete for binding to protein-coding transcripts. However, the prevalence, functional significance targets of lncRNA-mediated sponge regulation cancer are mostly unknown. Here we identify a regulatory network affects expression many prostate driver genes, by integrating analysis sequence features gene profiles both lncRNAs genes in tumours. We confirm tumour-suppressive two (TUG1...

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a powerful method for interpreting biological meaning of list genes by computing the overlaps with various previously defined gene sets. As one most widely used annotations defining sets, Ontology (GO) system has been in many enrichment analysis tools. EasyGO and agriGO, two GO toolkits developed our laboratory, have gained extensive usage citations since their releases because effective performance consistent maintenance. Responding to increasing...

Mitophagy is the process of selective mitochondrial degradation via autophagy, which has an important role in quality control. Very little known, however, about molecular mechanism mitophagy. A genome-wide yeast mutant screen for mitophagy-defective strains identified 32 mutants with a block mitophagy, addition to known autophagy-related (ATG) gene mutants. We further characterized one these mutants, ylr356wDelta that corresponds whose function not been identified. YLR356W mitophagy-specific...

Significance Our study provided a comprehensive view of the transcriptional landscape across cell cycle. We revealed lag between transcription and steady-state RNA expression at cell-cycle level characterized large amount active during early mitosis. In addition, our analysis identified thousands enhancer RNAs related factors that are highly correlated with cell-cycle–regulated but not expression, thus highlighting importance epigenetic dynamics progression.

Significance DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur in all cells, including neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) that give rise to the brain. We previously found developing lacking a major DSB end-joining pathway are subject widespread death. Because DSBs may result from gene transcription, we assayed for near active transcription start sites (TSSs) genome-wide NSPCs. TSSs of highly transcribed genes involved general cellular processes but less often neural-specific TSSs. These TSS-associated...

Autophagy has been implicated in a number of physiological processes important for human heath and disease. involves the formation double-membrane cytosolic vesicle, an autophagosome. Central to autophagosome is ubiquitin-like protein autophagy-related (Atg)8 (microtubule-associated 1 light chain 3/LC3 mammalian cells). Following autophagy induction, Atg8 shows greatest change expression any proteins required autophagy. The magnitude is, part, controlled by amount Atg8; thus, controlling...

Significance B lymphocytes change the type of antibody they express to combat infections though a DNA breakage and joining process termed class switch recombination (CSR). During CSR, breaks are introduced into two specific regions locus, these joined make new form gene. Like other genomic breaks, CSR activate cellular damage response pathway that helps ensure their proper repair. We now show that, when certain components inactivated, B-cell junctions different molecular signatures,...

Significance Antibodies are generated by B cells of the adaptive immune system to eliminate various pathogens. A somatic gene rearrangement process, termed V(D)J recombination, assembles antibody segments form sequences encoding antigen-binding regions antibodies. Each multitude newly produces a different with unique sequence, which collectively primary repertoire an individual. Given utility specific antibodies for treating human diseases, approaches elucidate repertoires great importance....
