Gene pages that could use a little love
[edit]Here is a checklist of different genes and proteins that I want to work on, so I don't forget.
| Gene Name | Full Name | Why it needs some love | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|
| NINJ1 | Ninjurin 1 | Article is a stub, but gene has a well characterized role in mediating plasma membrane rupture. | Pourmal, S., Truong, M.E., Johnson, M.C. et al. Autoinhibition of dimeric NINJ1 prevents plasma membrane rupture. Nature (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08273-4

| FWE | Flower | hFWE isforms are transmembrane proteins involved in cell-cell competition. Article does not exist yet, despite interesting function and several research articles. | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104945

| CD19ORF84 | unnamed | Article does not exist. Article in Molecular Cell shows it interacts with SPOCD1 and is essential for piRNA-directed transposon methylation. | Zoch A, Konieczny G, Auchynnikava T, et al. C19ORF84 connects piRNA and DNA methylation machineries to defend the mammalian germ line. Mol Cell. 2024;84(6):1021-1035.e11. doi:10.1016/j.molcel.2024.01.014 |
| CCAR1 | Cell division cycle and apoptosis regulator protein 1 | This gene is involved in DNA repair, but is still a stub. | Harada N, Asada S, Jiang L, et al. The splicing factor CCAR1 regulates the Fanconi anemia/BRCA pathway. Mol Cell. 2024;84(14):2618-2633.e10. doi:10.1016/j.molcel.2024.06.031

| ABCB4 | ATP-binding cassette 4 | Could use an update and expansion. | https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000005471-ABCB4 |
Articles Wikipedia Could Use
[edit]- 5-ethynyl uridine (EU), which is used to detect global RNA transcription, needs an article.
- The FirstLook Test for lung cancer is a liquid biopsy test for lung cancer based on fragmentomics doesn't have an article. FirstLook Blood Test
- For that matter, fragmentomics (study of fragmentation profiles of cell free DNA) also needs an article.
- The pesticide Calantha marketed by GreenLight Biosciences for use in the Colorado Potato Bettle is the first pesticide based on RNA interference (RNAi) and promises a more precise way to target insects with less cross-species toxicity. Science named it as a runner up to their 2024 Breakthrough of the Year.
