TL;DR: Comparative genomic analysis indicates vertebrate expansions of genes associated with neuronal function, with tissue-specific developmental regulation, and with the hemostasis and immune systems are indicated.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of 2,000 human diallelic insertion/deletion polymorphisms (indels) distributed throughout the human genome found that new alleles were generally lower in frequency than old alleles.

TL;DR: Evaluations indicate that this SNP screening set is more informative than the Marshfield Clinic's commonly used microsatellite-based screening set and provides a resource for fast genome scanning for disease genes.

TL;DR: It is found that ascertainment-corrected rho varies along the genome by more than two orders of magnitude, implying great differences in the recombinational history of different portions of the genome, a finding that has direct bearing on the design and utility of LD mapping and on the HapMap project.
