Article Abstract
Data integration is a key challenge for modern bioinformatics. It aims to provide biologists with tools to explore relevant data produced by different studies. Large-scale international projects can generate lots of heterogeneous and unrelated data. The challenge is to integrate this information with other publicly available data. Nucleotide sequencing throughput has been improved with new technologies; this increases the need for powerful information systems able to store, manage and explore data. GnpIS is a multispecies integrative information system dedicated to plant and fungi pests. It bridges genetic and genomic data, allowing researchers access to both genetic information (e.g. genetic maps, quantitative trait loci, markers, single nucleotide polymorphisms, germplasms and genotypes) and genomic data (e.g. genomic sequences, physical maps, genome annotation and expression data) for species of agronomical interest. GnpIS is used by both large international projects and plant science departments at the French National Institute for Agricultural Research. Here, we illustrate its use.

Motivation: Thousands of genomes are publicly available, however, most genes in those genomes have poorly defined functions. This is partly due to a gap between previously published, experimentally-characterized protein activities and activities deposited in databases. This activity deposition is bottlenecked by the time-consuming biocuration process.

Motivation: The Variant Call Format (VCF) is widely used in genome sequencing but scales poorly. For instance, we estimate a 150,000 genome VCF would occupy 900 TiB, making it costly and complicated to produce, analyze, and store. The issue stems from VCF's requirement to densely represent both reference-genotypes and allele-indexed arrays.

Motivation: The efficient and reproducible analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets necessitates the development of methodical and robust computational pipelines that integrate established and bespoke bioinformatics analysis tools, often written in high-level programming languages such as Python. Despite the increasing availability of programming libraries for genomics, there is a noticeable lack of tools specifically focused on transcriptomics. Key tasks in this area include the association of gene features (e.

Purpose: Our study aims to develop and validate a novel molecular marker for the prognosis and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) MATERIALS & METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed mRNA expression profile and clinicopathological data of HCC patients fetched from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) datasets. Univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to collect differentially expressed mRNA (DEmRNAs) from HCC and non-tumor tissues, and YEATS2, a prognostic marker, was identified by further analysis. ROC curve, survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis as well as nomograms were used to evaluate the prognosis of this gene.

Background: The genus Allium is known for its high chromosomal variability, but most chromosome counts are based on a few individuals and genome size (GS) reports are limited in certain taxonomic groups. This is evident in the Allium sect. Codonoprasum, a species-rich (> 150 species) and taxonomically complex section with weak morphological differences between taxa, the presence of polyploidy and frequent misidentification of taxa.
