==Nomenclature Updates==
+
Thousands of SGD users run their data against SGD data every day and this can put a heavy load on servers. To improve performance, we have invested in dockerizing our full database so that loads can be better distributed in real time. We are currently at the stage of testing the frontend of our software to look for bugs, which we do for every update. The next phase will entail dockerizing and testing the backend, so we can improve our data uploads.

SGD has long been the keeper of the official ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' gene nomenclature. Robert Mortimer handed over this responsibility to SGD in 1993 after maintaining the yeast genetic map and gene nomenclature for 30 years.  
+
<br><br><br><br>
  
−
The accepted format for gene names in ''S. cerevisiae'' comprises three uppercase letters followed by a number. The letters typically signify a phrase (referred to as the "Name Description" in SGD) that provides information about a function, mutant phenotype, or process related to that gene, for example "ADE" for "ADEnine biosynthesis" or "CDC" for "Cell Division Cycle". Gene names for many types of chromosomal features follow this basic format regardless of the type of feature named, whether an [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?category=locus&feature_type=ORF&page=0&q= ORF], a [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?category=locus&feature_type=tRNA%20gene&page=0&q= tRNA], another type of [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?q=YNC*&category=locus non-coding RNA], an [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?category=locus&feature_type=ARS&page=0&q=ars ARS], or a [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?category=locus&feature_type=Unmapped%20Genetic%20Loci&page=0&q= genetic locus]. Some ''S. cerevisiae'' gene names that pre-date the current nomenclature standards do not conform to this format, such as [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000001653 MRLP38], [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000006141 RPL1A], and [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000001398 OM45].

−
A few historical gene names predate both the nomenclature standards and the database, and were less computer-friendly than more recent gene names, due to the presence of punctuation. SGD recently updated these gene names to be consistent with current standards and to be more software-friendly by removing punctuation. The old names for these four genes have been retained as aliases.

SGD triages all the papers that come out each week to find those that add value to our database. In the process, we are continually impressed by the quality of the research done in yeast and we decided it was time to bring back the “Research Spotlight” as a post that appears on the SGD home page in the "New and Noteworthy" section.

The goal is to highlight interesting new work that either continues an ongoing story, makes a twist in the story we all thought we knew (such as an unexpected side gig for a protein), or offers a new technique or perspective for mining the most value from the yeast model. There are numerous intriguing papers in yeast, including those shedding light on human disease by dissecting the cellular biology in yeast, using our remarkable tools, so as to identify new targets or drugs for humans.

===New systematic nomenclature for yeast genes not in the reference genome===
 
−
For many years, a widely adopted systematic nomenclature has existed for yeast protein-coding genes, or ORFs, as many yeast researchers call them.  Readers of the [https://wiki.yeastgenome.org/index.php/SGD_Newsletter,_Spring_2021 last SGD newsletter] will recall that, earlier this year, SGD adopted a new systematic nomenclature for the [https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?q=YNC&category=locus entire annotated complement of ncRNAs]. 
 
  
−
We have just put into place a new systematic nomenclature for ''S. cerevisiae'' genes that are not found in the reference genome of strain S288C ([https://www.yeastgenome.org/search?q=YSC0&category=locus "non-reference" genes]).  This new systematic nomenclature is similar to, but distinct from, that used for ORFs and that used for ncRNAs. Non-reference genes are designated by a symbol consisting of three uppercase letters and a four-digit number, as follows: Y for "Yeast", SC for "Saccharomyces cerevisiae", and a four-digit number corresponding to the sequential order in which the gene was added to SGD.  We currently have 55 of these genes in SGD, some of which are old favorites like [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000029681 MAL21/YSC0004] and [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000124955 MATA/YSC0046], while others are more recent additions like [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000133140 XDH1/YSC0051].  Going forward, as evidence is published pointing to other ''S. cerevisiae'' genes not present in the S288C reference genome, they will be added to the annotation using the next sequential number available.  We already have 15 more of these YSC0000 names reserved by researchers and awaiting publication.

We are grateful to have Dr. Thorner’s work integrated into the SGD database and into our wider community’s ongoing mission to understand yeast.

==New links to AlphaFold 3D Predicted Protein Structure Database==
+
On the topic of integration, SGD is happy to integrate new data sets that add value to the database. We have the ability to incorporate these datasets directly from research groups, rather than from publications. Most recently we integrated the [http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4805 AlphaFold] predicted 3D structures for complexes as links on the SGD Interaction and Protein pages. It is now possible to look for your own proteins or complexes of interest and go straight to the predicted structure.
  
−
Would you like to see the shape of your protein?
+
Another recent example is [https://www.weizmann.ac.il/molgen/AnalogYeast AnalogYeast], a dataset of analogs to yeast proteins in non-fungal organisms predicted by sequence similarity, which was created by the [https://mayaschuldiner.wixsite.com/schuldinerlab Schuldiner lab]. Links have been added to the Resources sections of SGD [https://yeastgenome.org/locus/S000005737/protein#resources Protein] and [https://yeastgenome.org/locus/S000005737/homology#resources Homology] pages.
−

SGD now contains links to [https://www.alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/ AlphaFold] in the Resources sections of the [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000004103#resources/ Summary], [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/hog1/protein#resources/ Protein], and [https://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000004103/homology#resources/ Homology] pages for every gene.
+
We are open to more of this collaboration and would be glad to hear from community members who think they have data useful to other researchers. Get in touch!
  
−
*The links through SGD give quick access to [https://www.embl.org EMBL]’s [https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ European Bioinformatics Institute] (EMBL-EBI), which offers a new, highly accurate tool for predicting protein structure with speed and clarity.

+
​microPublication is part of the emerging genre of rapidly-published research communications. We are seeing a strong set of microPublications come through the database and are glad for this venue to publish brief, novel findings, negative and/or reproduced results, and results which may lack a broader scientific narrative.

We recently replaced HomoloGene, Ensembl, TreeFam and PANTHER homology datasets in YeastMine with homology data from [https://www.flyrnai.org/diopt DIOPT (DRSC integrative ortholog prediction tool)]. DIOPT integrates orthology predictions from multiple sources, including HomoloGene, Ensembl, TreeFam, and PANTHER. Using the [https://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_Homologs&scope=all Gene->Non-fungal and S. cerevisiae Homologs] pre-generated query, you can look for DIOPT homologs for a single or multiple yeast genes. The results table provides identifiers and standard names for the yeast and homologous genes, as well as organism and predictive score information.  As with other YeastMine templates, results can be saved as lists and analyzed further.<br>

Pre-generated [https://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_OMIM_Disease&scope=all queries] for human homolog(s) of your favorite yeast gene and their corresponding disease associations remain largely unchanged. You can begin with your favorite human gene or disease keyword and retrieve the yeast counterparts of the relevant gene(s).  As an example, you can search for the ''S. cerevisiae'' homologs of all human genes associated with disorders that contain the keyword “diabetes” ([https://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Disease_Human_Yeast&scope=all view search]). The results table provides identifiers and standard names for the yeast and human genes, OMIM gene and disease identifiers and name, as well as predictive algorithm sources and scores.

About this newsletter:
This is the Summer 2022 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. You can view this newsletter as well as previous newsletters on our Community Wiki.

Performance updates at SGD

Thousands of SGD users run their data against SGD data every day and this can put a heavy load on servers. To improve performance, we have invested in dockerizing our full database so that loads can be better distributed in real time. We are currently at the stage of testing the frontend of our software to look for bugs, which we do for every update. The next phase will entail dockerizing and testing the backend, so we can improve our data uploads.

We hope to see improved performance for you, our users. If you happen to notice faster speeds or fewer hiccups…we’d be quite glad to hear about it! (A message to the SGD Helpdesk reaches us all.)



Research Spotlights are back

ResearchSpotlight 2022-07-26 at 9.32.28 AM.png

SGD triages all the papers that come out each week to find those that add value to our database. In the process, we are continually impressed by the quality of the research done in yeast and we decided it was time to bring back the “Research Spotlight” as a post that appears on the SGD home page in the "New and Noteworthy" section.

The goal is to highlight interesting new work that either continues an ongoing story, makes a twist in the story we all thought we knew (such as an unexpected side gig for a protein), or offers a new technique or perspective for mining the most value from the yeast model. There are numerous intriguing papers in yeast, including those shedding light on human disease by dissecting the cellular biology in yeast, using our remarkable tools, so as to identify new targets or drugs for humans.

As the model organism databases move toward forming the Alliance of Genome Resources, which will streamline and integrate our combined data, we expect this power to make useful connections will only grow.

Upcoming Yeast Genetics Meeting

YGM2022.png

We may have forgotten how to talk to other people in person, but the Yeast Genetics Meeting is going to give us a chance to practice. The meeting will be held in person for the first time in four years at UCLA, from August 17-21. We hope to see you there!

Of course, it being the COVID era, you can also register to attend virtually, and the cost will not be higher for late registration.


A big congratulations to the award recipients who are the invited speakers for 2022. Tom Petes is receiving the YGM Lifetime Achievement Award, Trisha Davis is giving the Winge-Lindegren Address, Maya Schuldiner is receiving the Ira Herskowitz Award, and Michael Desai is giving the Lee Hartwell Lecture. Learn more about these researchers and their work at the YGM website.

Congratulations to Jeremy Thorner

While on the subject of congratulations, a past recipient of the YGM Lifetime Achievement Award and a longtime friend and advisor of SGD has been further honored with a full issue of the journal Biomolecules dedicated to his work, Transmembrane and Intracellular Signal Transduction Mechanisms: A Themed Issue in Honor of Professor Jeremy Thorner


We are grateful to have Dr. Thorner’s work integrated into the SGD database and into our wider community’s ongoing mission to understand yeast.
