TL;DR: Evidence that three-quarters of the human genome is capable of being transcribed is reported, as well as observations about the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates, regulatory regions and modifications of almost all currently annotated and thousands of previously unannotated RNAs that prompt a redefinition of the concept of a gene.

TL;DR: The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project provides new insights into the organization and regulation of the authors' genes and genome, and is an expansive resource of functional annotations for biomedical research.

TL;DR: It is found in all three organisms that the gene-expression levels, both coding and non-coding, can be quantitatively predicted from chromatin features at the promoter using a ‘universal model’ based on a single set of organism-independent parameters.

TL;DR: Drosophila olfactory memory was used as a model to study the molecular basis of cognitive defects in Fragile X syndrome in vivo and observed that fragile X protein was acutely required and interacted with argonaute1 and staufen in the formation of long-term memory.

TL;DR: dube3a mutants are a valid model for Angelman syndrome, with great potential for identifying the elusive UBE3A substrates relevant to the disease.
