TL;DR: Genome analysis provides a greatly improved fish gene catalogue, including identifying key genes previously thought to be absent in fish, and reconstructs much of the evolutionary history of ancient and recent chromosome rearrangements leading to the modern human karyotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing and comparison of yeast species to identify genes and regulatory elements
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on high-quality draft sequences of three related species, which inferred a putative function for most of these motifs, and provided insights into their combinatorial interactions.

TL;DR: ‘Long-range haplotype’ methods, which were developed to identify alleles segregating in a population that have undergone recent selection, and new methods that are based on cross-population comparisons to discover alleles that have swept to near-fixation within a population are developed.

TL;DR: A high-quality draft sequence of the N. crassa genome is reported, suggesting that RIP has had a profound impact on genome evolution, greatly slowing the creation of new genes through genomic duplication and resulting in a genome with an unusually low proportion of closely related genes.
