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.

Olfactory function in the trace amine-associated receptor family (TAARs) evolved twice independently.
TL;DR: The origin of the taar genes, one of the four major vertebrate olfactory receptor families, is disputed as mentioned in this paper, and the authors performed a phylogenetic analysis making use of 96 recently available genomes.
Characterization of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) PsMYB10 alleles reveals structural variation and polymorphisms correlating with fruit skin color
Arnau Fiol,Beatriz E. García-Gómez,Federico Jurado-Ruiz,Konstantinos G. Alexiou,Werner Howad,Maria José Aranzana +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, Japanese plum cultivars, which are hybrids of Prunus salicina, have high variability in the color hue and pattern, going from yellow green to red and purple-blue, probably as a result of the interspecific hybridization origin of the crop.
Genome-wide characterization of the UDP-glycosyltransferase gene family reveals their potential roles in leaf senescence in cotton.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a genome-wide survey and identified 157 GrUGT, 152 GaUGT and 261 GHUGT genes in Gossypium raimondii, G. arboreum, and G. hirsutum, respectively, that were classified into 15 groups.

Anti-proliferative effect on a colon adenocarcinoma cell line exerted by a membrane disrupting antimicrobial peptide KL15
TL;DR: KL15 is likely to kill the treated SW480 cells through the necrotic pathway similar to some recently identified AMPs by others.

A passion fruit putative ortholog of the SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE1 gene is expressed throughout the in vitro de novo shoot organogenesis developmental program
Diego Ismael Rocha,Carolina Cassano Monte-Bello,Lilian Cristina Baldon Aizza,Marcelo Carnier Dornelas +3 more
TL;DR: Cl cloning and characterization of the gene expression pattern of a Passiflora edulis putative ortholog, named Pe SERK1, during DNSO-induction from hypocotyl and root explants indicate that PeSERK1 might have a role during the organogenesis developmental program in Passiflore, apparently associated with the differentiation processes and with the maintenance of a cellular-competent state.
