The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is a curated reference database for plant biology that provides manual annotation of genes including Gene Ontology terms, summaries, and links to relevant publications, as well as information on alleles, phenotypes, and orthologs to aid in comparative functional analysis of genes across species. TAIR annotations serve as a "gold standard" and can be used to infer functions of unknown genes, classify gene lists, and transfer annotations to other plants based on sequence similarity. The database helps researchers investigate candidate genes related to traits like heat tolerance in non-model plants like sand rice by providing functional information on Arabidopsis orthologs.
Open reading frame is part of reading frame that contains no stop codons or region of amino acids coding triple codons.
ORF starts with start codon and ends at stop codon.

Secondary Structure Prediction of proteins Vijay Hemmadi
Secondary structure prediction has been around for almost a quarter of a century. The early methods suffered from a lack of data. Predictions were performed on single sequences rather than families of homologous sequences, and there were relatively few known 3D structures from which to derive parameters. Probably the most famous early methods are those of Chou & Fasman, Garnier, Osguthorbe & Robson (GOR) and Lim. Although the authors originally claimed quite high accuracies (70-80 %), under careful examination, the methods were shown to be only between 56 and 60% accurate (see Kabsch & Sander, 1984 given below). An early problem in secondary structure prediction had been the inclusion of structures used to derive parameters in the set of structures used to assess the accuracy of the method.

Identification and expression analysis of LEA gene family members in cucumber...asdasdas19
LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins
are firstly discovered in seeds and then identified in vegetative tissues of different plant species. They are mainly
regulated under abiotic stress conditions. Although genome
wide studies of different gene family members have been
performed in cucumber, there is no such a study for LEA
genes. We have identified 79 LEA genes in the cucumber
genome. Based on phylogenetic analysis, CsLEA genes
could be classified into seven groups in which structural
motifs are relatively conserved. Tandem duplications play
an important role in cucumber genome for LEA gene
expansion. Orthologous and chromosomal relationships of
CsLEA genes were observed based on comparative mapping analysis with other species. The in silico micro-RNA
(miRNA) target analyses indicated that 37 CsLEA genes
were targeted by different miRNAs, especially mir854 and
mir414 are the most abundant identified ones. Public
available RNA-seq data were analyzed for expression

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
The Arabidopsis Information Resource
A curated reference resource for translational plant biology
As presented in the Bioinformatics Resources Workshop
ASPB 2017
TAIR began in 1999 with the aim of providing a comprehensive, integrated portal into the Arabidopsis genome. Our primary focus has been on functional annotation of the Arabidopsis genome primarily by curating data from the published literature to make it more accessible to both humans and machines. We codify these results in the form of Gene Ontology Annotations , PO annotations. In addition we curate summaries and nomenclature as well as manual validation of literature association.
A lot of this information is exported and used by other informatics resources such as Araport, Gramene and BAR.
Experimental and non-experimental Gene Ontology Annotations. Arabidopsis is one of the most well annotated species and the most well annotated plant species.
How are TAIR’s annotations useful to plant biologists
Example of using TAIR to infer function of unknown gene in a non-model species.
Navigating the information content in an example TAIR locus page.
-Curated summary and gene nomenclature
-Gene structure glyph links to G-Browse to visualize genomic context and structure
-Curated annotations
-Annotation detail page showing the expanded annotations
-A basic annotation has a gene product, a Gene Ontology or Plant Ontology term, Evidence Code and a Reference.
-Evidence codes can be used to assess the ‘strength of the assertion’. Manual, experimental based evidence codes include
IDA (inferred from direct assay), IPI (inferred from physical interaction), IGI (inferred from genetic interaction), IEP (inferred from expression pattern, IMP (inferred from mutant phenotype). Other codes may be based on electronic inference methods such as ISS (inferred from sequence similarity)/
New information on the locus page for Gene Families includes:
-Links to orthology databases to search for orthologs of the locus of interest
-Link out to the PANTHER database TreeViewer displaying the locus of interest in a phylogenetic context of its PANTHER gene family.
-List of plant homologs from the PANTHER database
Panther Phylogenetic Tree to display alignments
Locus pages include alleles/polymorphisms and germplasms with curated phenotypes if they exist.
-Find variants and assess the effects of variation in arabidopsis
Locus page curated publication lists to find further information.
TAIR contributes GO annotations to the GO consortium
These GO annotations are updated quarterly,
The PANTHER tool is recommended because it uses up to date datasets which is important for a genome like Arabidopsis where new information is being updated
PANTHER tool also allows enrichment for 9 other plant species
TAIR’s implementation accesses the PANTHER web service.
