The Best Way to Organize Your Gene Research

NCBI Gene Integration

Stop manually copying gene information. Pilus connects directly to NCBI Gene database. Just enter a gene symbol like BRCA1, TP53, or EGFR and instantly import:

• Official gene symbol and full name
• Chromosome location and genomic coordinates
• Gene function and molecular pathways
• All known aliases and synonyms
• NCBI Gene ID for reference

UniProt Protein Enrichment

Each gene card is automatically enriched with UniProt protein data:

• UniProt accession and recommended protein name
• Full amino acid sequence and molecular weight
• Subcellular location (cellular compartment)
• PDB structure IDs and AlphaFold prediction link

Auto-Organism Creation

When you import a gene, Pilus automatically creates the corresponding organism card and links them with a found_in relation. No extra steps needed.

Connect Genes to Your Research

Genes don't exist in isolation. In Pilus, you can link genes to:

• Organisms - Which species hosts this gene? (auto-linked on import)
• Articles - Which papers discuss this gene?
• Researchers - Who studies this gene?
• Processes - What pathways involve this gene?
• Other genes - Gene interactions and regulation
