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: This high-density SNP map provides a public resource for defining haplotype variation across the genome, and should help to identify biomedically important genes for diagnosis and therapy.

TL;DR: A simple but powerful method, called reduced representation shotgun (RRS) sequencing, for creating SNP maps, which facilitates the rapid, inexpensive construction of SNP maps in biomedically and agriculturally important species.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of an acetate-utilizing methanogen, Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A, is reported, which indicates the likelihood of undiscovered natural energy sources for methanogenesis, whereas the presence of single-subunit carbon monoxide dehydrogenases raises the possibility of nonmethanogenic growth.
