SGD and the Alliance of Genome Resources Stacia R. Engel, Edith D. Wong, Robert S. Nash, Felix Gondwe, Kevin A. MacPherson, Patrick Ng, Suzi Aleksander, Stuart Miyasato, J. Michael Cherry, and The SGD Project Department of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA The yeast research community has long enjoyed the support provided by the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD), and has flourished because of its existence, making great breakthroughs and technological advances, and contributing countless key insights to the fields of genetics and genomics over the past decades. SGD has recently joined forces with five other model organism databases (MODs) - WormBase, FlyBase, ZFIN, RGD, and MGI - plus the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC) to form the Alliance of Genome Resources (the Alliance; alliancegenome.org). The Alliance website integrates expertly-curated information on model organisms and the functioning of cellular systems, and enables unified access to comparative genomics and genetics data, facilitating cross-species analyses. The site is undergoing rapid development as we work to harmonize various datatypes across the various organisms. Explore your favorite genes in the Alliance to find information regarding orthology sets, gene expression, gene function, mutant phenotypes, alleles, disease associations and more! The Alliance is supported by NIH NHGRI U24HG002223-19S1, NIH NHGRI U41HG001315 (SGD), NIH NHGRI P41HG002659 (ZFIN), NIH NHGRI U24HG002223 (WormBase), MRC-UK MR/L001020/1 (WormBase), NIH NHGRI U41HG000739 (FlyBase), NIH NHLBI HL64541 (RGD), NIH NHGRI HG000330 (MGD), and NIH NHGRI U41HG002273 (GOC, which also proVides funding to WB, MGD, SGD). Goal: develop and maintain sustainable genome information resources that facilitate the use of diverse model organisms to understand the genetic and genomic bases of human biology, health, and disease Yeast, human, and model organism orthologs Alleles and phenotype variants Disease associations Expression [email protected] @yeastgenome @alliancegenome [email protected].

Bradnam*, Ian Korf Genome Center, University of California Davis, Davis, California, United States of America Abstract While many properties of eukaryotic gene structure are well characterized, differences in the form and function of introns that occur at different positions within a transcript are less well understood. In particular, the dynamics of intron length variation with respect to intron position has received relatively little attention. This study analyzes all available data on intron lengths in GenBank and finds a significant trend of increased length in first introns throughout a wide range of species. This trend was found to be even stronger when using high-confidence gene annotation data for three model organisms (Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila melanogaster) which show that the first intron in the 59 UTR is - on average - significantly longer than all downstream introns within a gene. A partial explanation for increased first intron length in A. thaliana is suggested by the increased frequency of certain motifs that are present in first introns. The phenomenon of longer first introns can potentially be used to improve gene prediction software and also to detect errors in existing gene annotations.

NIH-GDS: Genomic Data Sharing
NIH-GDS: Genomic Data Sharing National Institutes of Health Data type Explain whether the research being considered for funding involves human data, non- human data, or both. Information to be included in this section: • Type of data being collected: human, non-human, or both human & non-human. • Type of genomic data to be shared: sequence, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and/or gene expression. • Level of the genomic data to be shared: Individual-level, aggregate-level, or both. • Relevant associated data to be shared: phenotype or exposure. • Information needed to interpret the data: study protocols, survey tools, data collection instruments, data dictionary, software (including version), codebook, pipeline metadata, etc. This information should be provided with unrestricted access for all data levels. Data repository Identify the data repositories to which the data will be submitted, and for human data, whether the data will be available through unrestricted or controlled-access. For human genomic data, investigators are expected to register all studies in the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) by the time data cleaning and quality control measures begin in addition to submitting the data to the relevant NIH-designated data repository (e.g., dbGaP, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Sequence Read Archive (SRA), the Cancer Genomics Hub) after registration. Non-human data may be made available through any widely used data repository, whether NIH- funded or not, such as GEO, SRA, Trace Archive, Array Express, Mouse Genome Informatics, WormBase, the Zebrafish Model Organism Database, GenBank, European Nucleotide Archive, or DNA Data Bank of Japan. Data in unrestricted-access repositories (e.g., The 1000 Genomes Project) are publicly available to anyone.

PINOT: an Intuitive Resource for Integrating Protein-Protein Interactions James E
Tomkins et al. Cell Communication and Signaling (2020) 18:92 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-020-00554-5 METHODOLOGY Open Access PINOT: an intuitive resource for integrating protein-protein interactions James E. Tomkins1, Raffaele Ferrari2, Nikoleta Vavouraki1, John Hardy2,3,4,5,6, Ruth C. Lovering7, Patrick A. Lewis1,2,8, Liam J. McGuffin9* and Claudia Manzoni1,10* Abstract Background: The past decade has seen the rise of omics data for the understanding of biological systems in health and disease. This wealth of information includes protein-protein interaction (PPI) data derived from both low- and high-throughput assays, which are curated into multiple databases that capture the extent of available information from the peer-reviewed literature. Although these curation efforts are extremely useful, reliably downloading and integrating PPI data from the variety of available repositories is challenging and time consuming. Methods: We here present a novel user-friendly web-resource called PINOT (Protein Interaction Network Online Tool; available at http://www.reading.ac.uk/bioinf/PINOT/PINOT_form.html) to optimise the collection and processing of PPI data from IMEx consortium associated repositories (members and observers) and WormBase, for constructing, respectively, human and Caenorhabditis elegans PPI networks. Results: Users submit a query containing a list of proteins of interest for which PINOT extracts data describing PPIs. At every query submission PPI data are downloaded, merged and quality assessed. Then each PPI is confidence scored based on the number of distinct methods used for interaction detection and the number of publications that report the specific interaction. Examples of how PINOT can be applied are provided to highlight the performance, ease of use and potential utility of this tool.
