Somewhat behind schedule (technical reasons) we have uploaded principal isoforms for @gencodegenes.bsky.social G49 (human) and M38 (mouse) versions, corresponding to @ensembl.org 115. 239 human genes have at least one manual APPRIS annotation and 133 are annotated with Principal:M transcripts.

APPRIS currently has an expired certificate. Unfortunately, the IT department is particularly short-staffed (for reasons beyond our control) and we cannot estimate when the problem will be fixed.

Unless you use APPRIS principal isoforms, of course, where this can't happen.

... OK, I plucked that 17% out of thin air. With @appris.bsky.social principal isoforms as the main representative of each gene, 14.7% of Ensembl reference genes have signal peptides, as do 13.8% of the 14,888 genes we had detected in our proteomics experiments. Exported proteins are in the cell.

Has APPRIS selected the wrong principal isoform? Send us an email via the adresses on the website and we will investigate.

We have recalculated APPRIS principal isoforms for GENCODE v48 / Ensembl 114 human. GENCODE added loss of function genes to this version and we discovered that this caused the TRIFID scores to change, affecting some of the PRINCIPAL:2 -> PRINCIPAL:5 isoforms. Our fault, we asked for the change!

We have updated APPRIS to @gencodegenes.bsky.social v48/ @ensembl.bsky.social v114. New principal isoforms for human, mouse, rat, cow and fruit fly ( @flybase.bsky.social ). Principal isoforms for a total of 73 human genes have been updated manually.

Users of APPRIS may have noticed that there is a new category of principal isoforms, Principal:M. These principal isoforms are exclusive to the human gene set and are principal isoforms that have been manually corrected. In GENCODE v47 there were 45 genes with Principal:M isoforms. Here is DCD:

Nice try, Luka. But even in a sham election with the real opposition candidates in jail, that is still some way short. of the 99.86% of supported ClinVar pathogenic mutations that map to APPRIS principal isoforms ...

APPRIS has updated to GENCODE v47 and mouse M36. Danio rerio has also been updated to Ensembl 113. in this release 80.7% of human coding genes have a PRINCIPAL:1 isoform. Also, we have begun the manual curation of principal isoforms. More soon. @gencodegenes.bsky.social @ensembl.bsky.social

APPRIS has new annotations for GENCODE human v46 and mouse M35. The human reference set now has 16,483 genes with Principal:P1 isoforms and mouse has 18,782 genes. Agreement with MANE Select transcripts in human (no MANE Select in mouse) has risen slightly to 17,661 genes. appris.bioinfo.cnio.es#/
