Abstract: ExPASy (http://www.expasy.org) has worldwide reputation as one of the main bioinformatics resources for proteomics. It has now evolved, becoming an extensible and integrative portal accessing many scientific resources, databases and software tools in different areas of life sciences. Scientists can henceforth access seamlessly a wide range of resources in many different domains, such as proteomics, genomics, phylogeny/evolution, systems biology, population genetics, transcriptomics, etc. The individual resources (databases, web-based and downloadable software tools) are hosted in a 'decentralized' way by different groups of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and partner institutions. Specifically, a single web portal provides a common entry point to a wide range of resources developed and operated by different SIB groups and external institutions. The portal features a search function across 'selected' resources. Additionally, the availability and usage of resources are monitored. The portal is aimed for both expert users and people who are not familiar with a specific domain in life sciences. The new web interface provides, in particular, visual guidance for newcomers to ExPASy.

TL;DR: In this study, the newly emerged 2019-nCoV papain-like protease (PLpro) is targeted by anti-SARS PLpro drugs and the anti-Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Non-structural protein 3 (NS3) serine protease drugs.
Mutated desmoglein-2 proteins are incorporated into desmosomes and exhibit dominant-negative effects in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Results indicated that ARVC caused by DSG2 mutations is often transmitted by recessive or digenic inheritance, and suggested a dominant‐negative effect of the mutatedDSG2 proteins because they were incorporated into the desmosomes.

TL;DR: Variations in genes associated with the membrane, including those involved in unsaturated fatty acid production and respiration, indicate that membrane-based adaptations are critical for coping with high pressure.
The first mouse mutants of D14Abb1e (Fam208a) show that it is critical for early development
Sarah K. Harten,Timothy J. C. Bruxner,Vandhana Bharti,Marnie E. Blewitt,Thi-My-Tam Nguyen,Emma Whitelaw,Emma Whitelaw,Trevor Epp +7 more
TL;DR: These are the first mouse mutants of D14Abb1e (alsoknownasFam208a), a gene about which little is known, that is localised to the nucleus and is expressed in skin and testes and it is demonstrated that haploinsufficiency for D 14Abb 1e effects transgene expression at the RNA level.
Genome-wide analysis of TCP family in tobacco.
TL;DR: The expression pattern of NtTCP demonstrated that majority of these genes play important roles in all the tissues, while some special genes exercise their functions only in specific tissues.
