TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of nearly all of the approximately 120-megabase euchromatic portion of the Drosophila genome is determined using a whole-genome shotgun sequencing strategy supported by extensive clone-based sequence and a high-quality bacterial artificial chromosome physical map.

TL;DR: PipMaker is appropriate for comparing genomic sequences from any two related species, although the types of information that can be inferred depend on the level of conservation and the time and divergence rate since the separation of the species.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a useful intermediate product for genome sequencing might be obtained by three- to fourfold redundancy, which would allow a large amount of biologically useful data to be extracted while postponing the majority of work involved in producing a high quality consensus sequence.
