AI Article Synopsis

  • The Genome Annotation Resource Fields (GARFIELD) is an interactive web application that provides organized annotation features from the 1.9-fold whole-genome shotgun sequences of domestic cats, hosted by the National Cancer Institute.
  • Users can explore chromosome-specific annotations, including over 20,000 gene regions aligned with other mammalian genomes, along with tracks displaying the structure of chromosomes, GC content, and repetitive elements.
  • Data is available for download in formats like FASTA and GFF, and users can also upload their own data for analysis and visualization.

Article Abstract

Annotation features from the 1.9-fold whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequences of domestic cat have been organized into an interactive web application, Genome Annotation Resource Fields (GARFIELD) (http://lgd.abcc.ncifcrf.gov) at the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity and Advanced Biomedical Computing Center (ABCC) at The National Cancer Institute (NCI). The GARFIELD browser allows the user to view annotations on a per chromosome basis with unplaced contigs provided on placeholder chromosomes. Various tracks on the browser allow display of annotations. A Genes track on the browser includes 20 285 regions that align to genes annotated in other mammalian genomes: Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Bos taurus, and Canis familiaris. Also available are tracks that display the contigs that make up the chromosomes and representations of their GC content and repetitive elements as detected using the RepeatMasker (http://www.repeatmasker.org). Data from the browser can be downloaded in FASTA and GFF format, and users can upload their own data to the display. The Felis catus sequences and their chromosome assignments and additional annotations incorporate data analyzed and produced by a multicenter collaboration between NCI, ABCC, Agencourt Biosciences Corporation, Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Center for Biotechnology and Information, and Texas A&M.

Salvia sclarea is a medicinal herb from the Lamiaceae family, valued for its essential oil which contains sclareol, linalool, linalyl acetate, and other compounds. Despite its extensive use, the genetic mechanisms of S. sclarea are not well understood.

Background: Messenger RNA 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) control many aspects of gene expression and determine where the transcript will terminate. The polyadenylation signal (PAS) AAUAAA (AATAAA in DNA) is a key regulator of transcript termination and this hexamer, or a similar sequence, is very frequently found within 30 bp of 3'UTR ends. Short interspersed element (SINE) retrotransposons are found throughout genomes in high copy numbers.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is an important disease causing death and disability worldwide, and further investigation of IS-related genes through genome-wide association study (GWAS) data is valuable.

Methods: The study included GWAS data from 62,100 IS patients of European origin and 1,234,808 controls in a cross-tissue transcriptome association study (TWAS). A joint analysis was first performed by the Unified Test for Molecular Markers (UTMOST) and FUSION methods.

Eukaryotic transcriptomes are remarkably complex, encompassing not only protein-coding RNAs but also an expanding repertoire of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). In plants, ncRNA-ncRNA interactions (NNIs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of gene expression, orchestrating development and adaptive responses to stress. Despite their critical roles, the functional significance of NNIs remains poorly understood, largely due to a lack of comprehensive resources.

Background: The evolution and development of flowers are biologically essential and of broad interest. Maize and sorghum have similar morphologies and phylogeny while harboring different inflorescence architecture. The difference in flower architecture between these two species is likely due to spatiotemporal gene expression regulation, and they are a good model for researching the evolution of flower development.
