Biological data analysis often deals with lists of genes arising from various studies. The g:Profiler toolset is widely used for finding biological categories enriched in gene lists, conversions between gene identifiers and mappings to their orthologs. The mission of g:Profiler is to provide a reliable service based on up-to-date high quality data in a convenient manner across many evidence types, identifier spaces and organisms. g:Profiler relies on Ensembl as a primary data source and follows their quarterly release cycle while updating the other data sources simultaneously. The current update provides a better user experience due to a modern responsive web interface, standardised API and libraries. The results are delivered through an interactive and configurable web design. Results can be downloaded as publication ready visualisations or delimited text files. In the current update we have extended the support to 467 species and strains, including vertebrates, plants, fungi, insects and parasites. By supporting user uploaded custom GMT files, g:Profiler is now capable of analysing data from any organism. All past releases are maintained for reproducibility and transparency. The 2019 update introduces an extensive technical rewrite making the services faster and more flexible. g:Profiler is freely available at https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler.

g:Profiler (https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler) is a widely used gene list functional profiling and namespace conversion toolset that has been contributing to reproducible biological data analysis already since 2007. Here we introduce the accompanying R package, gprofiler2, developed to facilitate programmatic access to g:Profiler computations and databases via REST API. The gprofiler2 package provides an easy-to-use functionality that enables researchers to incorporate functional enrichment analysis into automated analysis pipelines written in R. The package also implements interactive visualisation methods to help to interpret the enrichment results and to illustrate them for publications. In addition, gprofiler2 gives access to the versatile gene/protein identifier conversion functionality in g:Profiler enabling to map between hundreds of different identifier types or orthologous species. The gprofiler2 package is freely available at the CRAN repository.

g:Profiler is a reliable and up-to-date functional enrichment analysis tool that supports various evidence types, identifier types and organisms. The toolset integrates many databases, including Gene Ontology, KEGG and TRANSFAC, to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of gene lists. It also provides interactive and intuitive user interfaces and supports ordered queries and custom statistical backgrounds, among other settings. g:Profiler provides multiple programmatic interfaces to access its functionality. These can be easily integrated into custom workflows and external tools, making them valuable resources for researchers who want to develop their own solutions. g:Profiler has been available since 2007 and is used to analyse millions of queries. Research reproducibility and transparency are achieved by maintaining working versions of all past database releases since 2015. g:Profiler supports 849 species, including vertebrates, plants, fungi, insects and parasites, and can analyse any organism through user-uploaded custom annotation files. In this update article, we introduce a novel filtering method highlighting Gene Ontology driver terms, accompanied by new graph visualizations providing a broader context for significant Gene Ontology terms. As a leading enrichment analysis and gene list interoperability service, g:Profiler offers a valuable resource for genetics, biology and medical researchers. It is freely accessible at https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler.

Most short sequences can be precisely written into a selected genomic target using prime editing; however, it remains unclear what factors govern insertion. We design a library of 3,604 sequences of various lengths and measure the frequency of their insertion into four genomic sites in three human cell lines, using different prime editor systems in varying DNA repair contexts. We find that length, nucleotide composition and secondary structure of the insertion sequence all affect insertion rates. We also discover that the 3′ flap nucleases TREX1 and TREX2 suppress the insertion of longer sequences. Combining the sequence and repair features into a machine learning model, we can predict relative frequency of insertions into a site with R = 0.70. Finally, we demonstrate how our accurate prediction and user-friendly software help choose codon variants of common fusion tags that insert at high efficiency, and provide a catalog of empirically determined insertion rates for over a hundred useful sequences.
