We have developed AspAlt-a web-based comparative analytical platform for exploring the variations in alternative transcription (AT) events and alternative splicing (AS) events in eukaryotes. AspAlt provides integrated access to 2.1 million AT-AS annotations from 1,58,876 multi-isoform genes and has the following user-friendly analytical features: (1) advanced graphical display to visualize and analyze AT-AS events in 46 eukaryotic genomes; (2) compare and identify the differences in AT-AS patterns among a group of genes specified by the user or among homologous gene groups; (3) inter-database comparative viewer to analyze the differences in the AT-AS annotations for the same gene among Ensembl, RefSeq and AceView databases; (4) dynamically classify and generate graphical plots of AT-AS events from mRNA annotations submitted by the user; and (5) download genomic AT-AS annotations of 46 eukaryotes in XML and tab-delimited formats. The AspAlt resource is available at http://66.170.16.154/AspAlt.

A functional genomics pipeline to identify high-value asthma and allergy CpGs in the human methylome.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unexplored variations in DNA methylation at CpG sites in airway epithelial cells from children with and without allergic asthma, using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
- Researchers designed a custom array to highlight these high-value CpGs and used it alongside existing arrays to analyze allergic sensitization in children from different birth cohorts.
- Results showed that the custom array contained CpGs with intermediate methylation levels, which were significantly associated with allergic sensitization and gene expression regulation.
First high-quality genome assembly data of sago palm ( Rottboll).
Data Brief

The sago palm ( Rottboll) is a tropical halophytic starch-producing, economically important crop palm mainly located in Southeast Asian countries. Recently, a genome survey was conducted on this palm using the Illumina sequencing platform, with a very low (21.5%) BUSCO genome completeness score, and most of them (∼78%) are either fragmented or missing.

In this study, we cloned and sequenced a virulence-associated gene (vacB) from a clinical isolate SSU of Aeromonas hydrophila. We identified this gene based on our recently annotated genome sequence of the environmental isolate ATCC 7966(T) of A. hydrophila and the vacB gene of Shigella flexneri.

An inherent problem in transmembrane protein topology prediction and signal peptide prediction is the high similarity between the hydrophobic regions of a transmembrane helix and that of a signal peptide, leading to cross-reaction between the two types of predictions. To improve predictions further, it is therefore important to make a predictor that aims to discriminate between the two classes. In addition, topology information can be gained when successfully predicting a signal peptide leading a transmembrane protein since it dictates that the N terminus of the mature protein must be on the non-cytoplasmic side of the membrane.
