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.

The omic approach to parasitic trematode research-a review of techniques and developments within the past 5 years.
Orçun Haçarız,Gearóid P. Sayers +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the application, advantages, and disadvantages of omic technologies in trematode research within the past 5 years and explores the use and translation of the omic-based research results into practical tools to deal with infection.
Genome wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the GRAS family in quinoa.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the latest quinoa genomic data to identify and analyse GRAS genes in quinoa: 52 genes were identified in Quinoa, these being unevenly distributed on 19 chromosomes, and the main secondary structures were α-helix and random coil.

Ambiguity and variability of database and software names in bioinformatics
TL;DR: The variability and ambiguity of database and software name mentions is explored and dictionary and machine learning approaches to their identification are compared and more contextual information needs to be taken into account to achieve a good degree of accuracy.
Genome-wide identification and expression profiling analysis of Wnt family genes affecting adipocyte differentiation in cattle
Cuili Pan,Shuzhe Wang,Chaoyun Yang,Chunli Hu,Hui Sheng,Xiaoshu Xue,Honghong Hu,Zhao Lei,Mengli Yang,Yun Ma +9 more
TL;DR: The Wnt family features conserved glycoproteins that play roles in tissue regeneration, animal development and cell proliferation and differentiation as mentioned in this paper , but not in the Bovinae.
Flexibility of intrinsically disordered degrons in AUX/IAA proteins reinforces auxin receptor assemblies

TL;DR: The authors' results establish a role for IDRs in modulating auxin receptor assemblies by securing AUX/IAAs on two opposite surfaces of TIR1, and postulate IDR diversity supports locally tailored positioning for targeted ubiquitylation, and might provide conformational flexibility for adopting a multiplicity of functional states.
