These genes are not significantly expressed under normal conditions and are mainly regulated at the transcription and prost-transcriptional level. Transcription from the promoters of these genes is very dependent on NF-kappaB activation, which integrates the response to diverse extracellular stresses. However, in spite of the high conservation of the pattern of promoter regulation in kappaB-regulated genes, there is inter-species diversity in some genes. One example is nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS-2), which exhibits a species-specific pattern of expression in response to infection or pro-inflammatory challenge. RESULTS: We have conducted a comparative genomic analysis of NOS-2 with different bioinformatic approaches. This analysis shows that in the NOS-2 gene promoter the position and the evolutionary divergence of some conserved regions are different in rodents and non-rodent mammals, and in particular in primates. Two not previously described distal regions in rodents that are similar to the unique upstream region responsible of the NF-kappaB activation of NOS-2 in humans are fragmented and translocated to different locations in the rodent promoters. The rodent sequences moreover lack the functional kappaB sites and IFN-gamma response sites present in the homologous human, rhesus monkey and chimpanzee regions. The absence of kappaB binding in these regions was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. CONCLUSION: The data presented reveal divergence between rodents and other mammals in the location and functionality of conserved regions of the NOS-2 promoter containing NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma response elements.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rico, Daniel Vaquerizas, Juan M Dopazo, Hernan Bosca, Lisardo Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov’t England BMC genomics BMC Genomics. 2007 Aug 8;8:271.</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fatima Al-Shahrour</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minguez, P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tarraga, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montaner, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alloza, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaquerizas, J.

FatiScan is highly sensitive and is capable of finding significant asymmetries in the distribution of genes of common function across a list of ordered genes even if these asymmetries were not extreme. The strong multiple-testing nature of the contrasts made by the tools is taken into account. All the tools are integrated in the gene expression analysis package GEPAS.

With &amp;gt;76,000 experiments analysed during the last year and a daily average of almost 300 analyses, GEPAS can be considered a well-established and widely used platform for gene expression microarray data analysis. GEPAS is oriented to the analysis of whole series of experiments. Its design and development have been driven by the demands of the biomedical community, probably the most active collective in the field of microarray users. Although clustering methods have obviously been implemented in GEPAS, our interest has focused more on methods for finding genes differentially expressed among distinct classes of experiments or correlated to diverse clinical outcomes, as well as on building predictors. There is also a great interest in CGH-arrays which fostered the development of the corresponding tool in GEPAS: InSilicoCGH. Much effort has been invested in GEPAS for developing and implementing efficient methods for functional annotation of experiments in the proper statistical framework. Thus, the popular FatiGO has expanded to a suite of programs for functional annotation of experiments, including information on transcription factor binding sites, chromosomal location and tissues.

The possibility of performing large-scale functional assays by gene silencing accentuates the necessity of a software capable of the high-throughput design of highly specific siRNA. The main objective sought was the design of a large number of siRNAs with appropriate thermodynamic properties and, especially, high specificity. Since all the available procedures require, to some extent, manual processing of the results to guarantee specific results, specificity constitutes to date, the major obstacle to the complete automation of all the steps necessary for the selection of optimal candidate siRNAs. RESULT: Here, we present a program that for the first time completely automates the search for siRNAs. In SiDE, the most complete set of rules for the selection of siRNA candidates (including G+C content, nucleotides at determined positions, thermodynamic properties, propensity to form internal hairpins, etc.) is implemented and moreover, specificity is achieved by a conceptually new method. After selecting possible siRNA candidates with the optimal functional properties, putative unspecific matches, which can cause cross-hybridization, are checked in databases containing a unique entry for each gene. These truly non-redundant databases are constructed from the genome annotations (Ensembl). Also intron/exon boundaries, presence of polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphisms) specificity for either gene or transcript, and other features can be selected to be considered in the design of siRNAs. AVAILABILITY: The program is available as a web server at http://side.bioinfo.cnio.es. The program was written under the GPL license.

PupasView constitutes an interactive environment in which functional information and population frequency data can be used as sequential filters over linkage disequilibrium parameters to obtain a final list of SNPs optimal for genotyping purposes. PupasView is the first resource that integrates phenotypic effects caused by SNPs at both the translational and the transcriptional level. PupasView retrieves SNPs that could affect conserved regions that the cellular machinery uses for the correct processing of genes (intron/exon boundaries or exonic splicing enhancers), predicted transcription factor binding sites and changes in amino acids in the proteins for which a putative pathological effect is calculated. The program uses the mapping of SNPs in the genome provided by Ensembl. PupasView will be of much help in studies of multifactorial disorders, where the use of functional SNPs will increase the sensitivity of the identification of the genes responsible for the disease. The PupasView web interface is accessible through http://pupasview.ochoa.fib.es and through http://www.pupasnp.org.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conde, Lucia Vaquerizas, Juan M Ferrer-Costa, Carles de la Cruz, Xavier Orozco, Modesto Dopazo, Joaquin Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov’t England Nucleic acids research Nucleic Acids Res. 2005 Jul 1;33(Web Server issue):W501-5.</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaquerizas, J.

Initially, interest focussed on genes coexpressing across sets of experimental conditions, implying, essentially, the use of clustering techniques. Recently, however, interest has focussed more on finding genes differentially expressed among distinct classes of experiments, or correlated to diverse clinical outcomes, as well as in building predictors. In addition to this, the availability of accurate genomic data and the recent implementation of CGH arrays has made mapping expression and genomic data on the chromosomes possible. There is also a clear demand for methods that allow the automatic transfer of biological information to the results of microarray experiments. Different initiatives, such as the Gene Ontology (GO) consortium, pathways databases, protein functional motifs, etc., provide curated annotations for genes. Whereas many resources on the web focus mainly on clustering methods, GEPAS has evolved to cope with the aforementioned new challenges that have recently arisen in the field of microarray data analysis. The web-based pipeline for microarray gene expression data, GEPAS, is available at http://gepas.bioinfo.cnio.es.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Herrero, Javier Vaquerizas, Juan M Al-Shahrour, Fatima Conde, Lucia Mateos, Alvaro Diaz-Uriarte, Javier Santoyo Ramon Dopazo, Joaquin England Nucleic acids research Nucleic Acids Res. 2004 Jul 1;32(Web Server issue):W485-91.&lt;/p&gt;</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L.

PupaSNP takes as its input lists of genes (or generates them from chromosomal coordinates) and retrieves SNPs that could affect the conserved regions that the cellular machinery uses for the correct processing of genes (intron/exon boundaries or exonic splicing enhancers), predicted transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) and changes in amino acids in the proteins. The program uses the mapping of SNPs in the genome provided by Ensembl. Additionally, user-defined SNPs (not yet mapped in the genome) can be easily provided to the program. Also, additional functional information from Gene Ontology, OMIM and homologies in other model organisms is provided. In contrast to other programs already available, which focus only on SNPs with possible effect in the protein, PupaSNP includes SNPs with possible transcriptional effect. PupaSNP will be of significant help in studies of multifactorial disorders, where the use of functional SNPs will increase the sensitivity of identification of the genes responsible for the disease.
