Bioinformation Database links GeneID: 10750 Human Swiss-port # Q13588 Human Background This gene encodes a member of the GRB2/Sem5/Drk family and functions as a cytoplasmic signaling protein which contains an SH2 domain flanked by two SH3 domains. The SH2 domain interacts with ligand-activated receptors for stem cell factor and erythropoietin, and facilitates the formation of a stable complex with the BCR-ABL oncoprotein. This protein also associates with the Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor SOS1 (son of sevenless homolog 1) through its N-terminal SH3 domain. In general, it couples signals from receptor and cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases to the Ras signaling pathway.

Biological Databases What Is a Database ?
BIOLOGICAL DATABASES WHAT IS A DATABASE ? A structured collection of data held in computer storage; esp. one that incorporates software to make it accessible in a variety of ways; any large collection of information. A collection of data structured searchable (index) -> table of contents updated periodically (release) -> new edition cross-referenced (hyperlinks ) -> links with other db Includes also associated tools (software) necessary for access, updating, information insertion, information deletion…. A database consists of basic units called records or entries. Each record consists of fields, which hold pre-defined data related to the record. For example, a protein database would have protein sequences as records and protein properties as fields (e.g., name of protein, length, amino-acid sequence, …) 2 DATABASES ON THE INTERNET Biological databases often have web interfaces, which allow users to send queries to the databases. Some databases can be accessed by different web servers, each offering a different interface. request query web page result User Web server Database server 3 WHY BIOLOGICAL DATABASES ? Exponential growth in biological data. Data (genomic sequences, 3D structures, 2D gel analysis, MS analysis, Microarrays….) are no longer published in a conventional manner, but directly submitted to databases. Essential tools for biological research. The only way to publish massive amounts of data without using all the paper in the world. 4 NUCLEOTIDES 5 COMPLETE GENOMES Until 2018: Eukaryotes 5262 Prokaryotes 131446 Viruses 14027 6 SOME STATISTICS More than 1000 different ‘biological’ databases Variable size: <100Kb to >20Gb DNA: > 20 Gb Protein: 1 Gb 3D structure: 5 Gb Other: smaller Update frequency: daily to annually to seldom to forget about it .

Chromosomal Instability and Copy Number Alterations in Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Thomas G
Human Cancer Biology Chromosomal Instability and Copy Number Alterations in Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Thomas G. Paulson,1,2 Carlo C. Maley,4,5 Xiaohong Li,2 Hongzhe Li,6 Carissa A. Sanchez,1,2 Dennis L. Chao,3 Robert D. Odze,7 Thomas L. Vaughan,2,8 Patricia L. Blount,1,2,10 and Brian J. Reid1,2,9,10 Abstract Purpose: Chromosomal instability, as assessed by many techniques, including DNA content aneuploidy, loss of heterozygosity, and comparative genomic hybridization, has consistently been reported to be common in cancer and rare in normal tissues. Recently, a panel of chromosome instability biomarkers, including loss of heterozygos- ity and DNA content, has been reported to identify patients at high and low risk of pro- gression from Barrett's esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA), but required multiple platforms for implementation. Although chromosomal instability in- volving amplifications and deletions of chromosome regions have been observed in nearly all cancers, copy number alterations (CNA) in premalignant tissues have not been well characterized or evaluated in cohort studies as biomarkers of cancer risk. Experimental Design: We examined CNAs in 98 patients having either BE or EA using Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) array comparative genomic hybridization to char- acterize CNAs at different stages of progression ranging from early BE to advanced EA. Results: CNAs were rare in early stages (less than high-grade dysplasia) but were pro- gressively more frequent and larger in later stages (high-grade dysplasia and EA), in- cluding high-level amplifications. The number of CNAs correlated highly with DNA content aneuploidy.

And Y-Linked Ampliconic Genes in Human Populations
HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE | INVESTIGATION Dynamic Copy Number Evolution of X- and Y-Linked Ampliconic Genes in Human Populations Elise A. Lucotte,1 Laurits Skov, Jacob Malte Jensen, Moisès Coll Macià, Kasper Munch, and Mikkel H. Schierup Bioinformatic Research Center, Aarhus University, 8000, Denmark ORCID ID: 0000-0001-8442-2654 (E.A.L.) ABSTRACT Ampliconic genes are multicopy, with the majority found on sex chromosomes and enriched for testis-expressed genes. While ampliconic genes have been associated with the emergence of hybrid incompatibilities, we know little about their copy number distribution and their turnover in human populations. Here, we explore the evolution of human X- and Y-linked ampliconic genes by investigating copy number variation (CNV) and coding variation between populations using the Simons Genome Diversity Project. We develop a method to assess CNVs using the read depth on modified X and Y chromosome targets containing only one repetition of each ampliconic gene. Our results reveal extensive standing variation in copy number both within and between human populations for several ampliconic genes. For the Y chromosome, we can infer multiple independent amplifications and losses of these gene copies even within closely related Y haplogroups, that diversified , 50,000 years ago. Moreover, X- and Y-linked ampliconic genes seem to have a faster amplification dynamic than autosomal multicopy genes. Looking at expression data from another study, we also find that X- and Y-linked ampliconic genes with extensive CNV are significantly more expressed than genes with no CNV during meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (for both X and Y) and postmeiotic sex chromosome repression (for the Y chromosome only).

Isochromosome 17q, or “i(17q),” is one of the most common structural abnormalities observed in human neoplasms. We previously identiﬁed a breakpoint cluster region for i(17q) formation in 17p11.2 and hypothesized that genome architectural features could be responsible for this clustering. To address this hypothesis, we precisely mapped the i(17q) breakpoints in 11 patients with different hematologic malignancies and determined the genomic structure of the involved region. Our results reveal a complex genomic architecture in the i(17q) breakpoint cluster region, characterized by large (∼38–49-kb), palindromic, low-copy repeats, strongly suggesting that somatic rearrangements are not random events but rather reﬂect susceptibilities due to the genomic structure.
