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 family with familial glycosuria, there was no evidence that chronic loss of glucose in the urine would protect from deterioration of the glucose tolerance over time, and one individual suffered from severe urogenital candida infections and postprandial hypoglycemia.

TL;DR: This study comprehensively analyzed BURP genes in G. hirsutum, providing insight into the functions of GhBURPs in cotton development and adaptation to stresses and indicated that the Gh BURPs may performed important functions in cotton's responses to various abiotic stresses.
Identifying novel protein interactions: Proteomic methods, optimisation approaches and data analysis pipelines.
TL;DR: A range of software resources that can be applied to interactomics, both to handle raw data and also to scrutinise its broader biological context are described, especially on open-access online interactomic databases such as Reactome and IntAct.

Morbid Sequences Suggest Molecular Mimicry between Microbial Peptides and Self-Antigens: A Possibility of Inciting Autoimmunity.
Susanta Pahari,Deepyan Chatterjee,Shikha Negi,Jagdeep Kaur,Balvinder Singh,Javed N. Agrewala +5 more
TL;DR: The present study divulges many microbial target proteins, their putative MHC-binding epitopes, and predicted structures to establish the fact that both sequence and structure are two important aspects for understanding the relationship between molecular mimicry and autoimmune diseases.
