'''About this newsletter:''' 

This is the August 2016 issue of the SGD newsletter. The goal of this newsletter is to inform our users about new features in SGD and to foster communication within the yeast community.

==SGD's new Faceted Search Tool==
[[File:faceted_search_youtube.jpg|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw4LZJJSHMw|300px]][[File:newsletter2016_newsearch.png|thumb|200px|Explore all the data available at SGD using the facets of our new search!]]
 You may have noticed that SGD has a new look, but the recent changes have not been limited to a website makeover. Introducing SGD's new '''Faceted Search''' that allows you to refine your search results by categories! Our developers have been hard at work creating a new search that will not only help you easily find what you are looking for, but also will also allow you to explore more of what SGD has to offer.

If you aren't sure where to start, click the "Try this?" button on the [http://www.yeastgenome.org homepage] for a random query like [http://www.yeastgenome.org/search?q=polymerase "polymerase"]. From there, you can play around with the various facets to explore all the different types of pages that have to do with "polymerase", like GO term pages, gene pages, reference pages, contig pages, and more!

For more help, check out our [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw4LZJJSHMw video tutorial] or [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/suggestion contact us]. We'd love to hear from you!
 

==Updated Genome Browser (JBrowse)==
[[File:JBrowse.png|300px|]]
 Since the last newletter, we have upgraded to JBrowse for our genome browser which improves on the speed of the browser's response and features a search option for data tracks based on author, pmid, topic of the publication and more! To learn about the various features for navigation, searching for data tracks, and uploading data tracks, check out our help videos that can be found through our [https://www.youtube.com/SaccharomycesGenomeDatabase Youtube channel's] [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0VHJdmmIuj88wZKi9FsnlBkriSUZlYYt playlist on JBrowse]!

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNA_egurX0A SGD Help: Navigating JBrowse]
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH6kwbqiLiQ SGD Help: Downloading Sequences in JBrowse]

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUI-of9IYXo SGD Help: Uploading Gene Lists to JBrowse]

Keep an eye out for updates on JBrowse as we are looking to regularly add '''new data tracks'''. If you have a publication in mind whose data you would like to see incorporated into our genome browser, please [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/suggestion send us a message] so we can add it to JBrowse!
 

==Three New YeastMine Templates!==
[[File:newsletter2016_newYMtemplate_utr.png|600px|Check out our new YeastMine template for retrieving the UTRs (untranslated regions) of a list of genes]]
 We have been getting a lot of user feedback requesting UTR information at SGD recently so in response to your input, SGD has put together a new '''[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_UTRs&scope=global Gene-->UTR]''' template under the 'Expression' templates in [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/ YeastMine]! The UTRs are based off transcripts from the [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000153368/overview Pelachano et al 2013] dataset and the results display information on other datasets that confirm these results.

We've also added two new templates for protein half-life information based on the data from a study by [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000178561/overview Christiano et al 2014]. You can retrieve the half-life information on a list of genes using the '''[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_Protein_Half_Life&scope=all Gene-->Protein Half-life]''' template or get a list of genes that have a half-life within a given range by using the '''[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_ProteinHalfLife_Range&scope=all Retrieve-->Proteins with half-life in a given range]''' template. Both of these templates can be found in the "Templates" section of YeastMine under the "Protein" category.

Thank you to all who wrote in and be sure to check out the new templates!
 

==Upcoming SGD Webinar: September 7==
[[File:SGDwebinars-redbud.png|175px]][[File:sgd_webinar_5_preview.jpg|thumb|300px|The SPELL tool stands for "Serial Pattern of Expression Levels Locator" which helps you search expression datasets at SGD]]
===Exploring Expression Datasets & Coexpressed Genes with SPELL===
The next SGD webinar in our Webinar Series is scheduled for ''' September 7th, 2016, 9:30 AM PDT.''' Ever wonder what that "SPELL" expression tool at SGD does and how you would use it for your research? Have questions about what kind of datasets get added to SPELL and where we get them? This short webinar will provide an overview of how to locate informative expression datasets and coexpressed genes with the SPELL tool that SGD hosts.

Space for this webinar is limited. To reserve your spot, please register for this event '''[http://bit.ly/SGDwebinar5 here]'''.

==The ALLIANCE of Genome Resources==
[[File:alliance_logo.png|300px]]
 Recently, SGD has teamed up with [http://www.wormbase.org/#012-34-5 WormBase], [http://flybase.org/ FlyBase], [https://zfin.org/ ZFIN], [http://www.informatics.jax.org/ MGI], [http://rgd.mcw.edu/ RGD], and the [http://geneontology.org/ Gene Ontology Consortium] to establish the '''Alliance of Genome Resources'''. One of the goals for the Alliance is to provide users (you!) with an integrated approach of accessing the data from all of the Model Organism Databases. This will also provide us with an opportunity to join forces in our tool development efforts to better serve user demand. Read more about the Alliance in the "Genes to Genomes" [http://genestogenomes.org/model-organism-databases-join-forces-announcing-the-alliance-of-genome-resources/ blog post] by the Genetics Society of America.

''We are still looking for feedback'' on input for development and on future directions. Please help us by filling out a short [http://www.yeastgenome.org/alliance-of-genome-resources-survey survey] for the Alliance.

We’d like to thank everyone that signed the [http://www.genetics-gsa.org/MODSupport/ letter] to Dr. Francis Collins, Director, NIH. Over 11,000 signatures were collected. The letter and signatures was presented to Dr. Collins just before the TAGC meeting. He responded to the letter during his [http://genestogenomes.org/policy-points-collins-reports-model-organism-funding-at-tagc16/ keynote address] at TAGC.

==Research Spotlight (Blog Posts)==
In case you missed them, here are some of the most popular Research Spotlights posted on our blog lately:
*'''[http://www.yeastgenome.org/keep-only-what-you-need Keep Only What You Need]''' At points throughout the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it was necessary for characters to drop all unnecessary baggage for survival. Similarly, yeast keep very few introns, which says something about the introns that stick around, as [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000183960/overview Hooks and coworkers] investigate...
*'''[http://www.yeastgenome.org/chocolate-and-coffee-too Chocolate and Coffee Too]''' In addition to bread and booze, we can thank yeast for their role in processing cacao and coffee. [http://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(16)30064-1.pdf Ludlow and coworkers] take a look at the long ignored cacao and coffee strains of yeast and find that they differ greatly from the well-studied wine strains.
*'''[http://www.yeastgenome.org/cant-get-there-like-that Can't Get There Like That]''' A new methodology by [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000183177/overview Rich and coworkers] shows that duplication is the only way to boost the expression of SUL1, as opposed to taking the “route” of mutation to the promoter region, under sulfate-limiting conditions.
*'''[http://www.yeastgenome.org/sometimes-simple-is-better Sometimes Simple is Better]''' In a recent study, [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182601/overview Fernandez-Murray and coworkers] investigate yeast for the answers to a human condition called congenital sideroblastic anemia caused by a mutation in the human homolog of HEM25.
*'''[http://www.yeastgenome.org/friends-with-benefits Friends with Benefits]''' Yet another study by [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000184329/overview Petty and coworkers] demonstrates the Awesome Power of Yeast Genetics (APOYG) using mutants for the gene GCN5, a cancer related gene that is essential in most eukaryotes, but not yeast!
