    Information about a gene

    Hello everyone,

    I want to get some information about a gene with a ensembleID (example: ENSG00000241635)
    When I use the webbrowser, I can find this gene on the uniprot website (example)
    On this webpage there is a reference to the NCBI website with the refseq reference (example)
    On this webpage is a summary like this one of my example:
    Summary: This gene encodes a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, an enzyme
    of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic
    molecules, such as steroids, bilirubin, hormones, and drugs, into
    water-soluble, excretable metabolites. This gene is part of a
    complex locus that encodes several UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
    The locus includes thirteen unique alternate first exons followed
    by four common exons. Four of the alternate first exons are
    considered pseudogenes. Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be
    spliced to the four common exons, resulting in nine proteins with
    different N-termini and identical C-termini. Each first exon
    encodes the substrate binding site, and is regulated by its own
    promoter. The preferred substrate of this enzyme is bilirubin,
    although it also has moderate activity with simple phenols,
    flavones, and C18 steroids. Mutations in this gene result in
    Crigler-Najjar syndromes types I and II and in Gilbert syndrome.

    Is there an UCSC table with these summaries?

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin


    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

    Recent Developments in Metagenomics
    by seqadmin





    Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...

    Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
    by seqadmin




    During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

    Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...
