TL;DR: A high-quality sequence assembly of the zebrafish genome is generated, made up of an overlapping set of completely sequenced large-insert clones that were ordered and oriented using a high-resolution high-density meiotic map, providing a clearer understanding of key genomic features such as a unique repeat content, a scarcity of pseudogenes, an enrichment of zebra fish-specific genes on chromosome 4 and chromosomal regions that influence sex determination.

TL;DR: The sequence of the euchromatic part of human chromosome 22 is reported, which consists of 12 contiguous segments spanning 33.4 megabases, contains at least 545 genes and 134 pseudogenes, and provides the first view of the complex chromosomal landscapes that will be found in the rest of the genome.

TL;DR: Analysis of the sequence reveals many intra- and interchromosomal duplications, including segmental duplications adjacent to both the centromere and the large heterochromatic block, and detects recently duplicated genes that exhibit different rates of sequence divergence, presumably reflecting natural selection.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the sequence of chromosome 20 to whole-genome shotgun-sequence data of two other vertebrates provides an independent measure of the efficiency of gene annotation, and indicates that this analysis may account for more than 95% of all coding exons and almost all genes.

TL;DR: The finished sequence and biological annotation of human chromosome 1 is reported, which reveals patterns of sequence variation that reveal signals of recent selection in specific genes that may contribute to human fitness, and also in regions where no function is evident.
