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: The isolation of microsatellite-containing clones from hypomethylated regions of the wheat genome increased the proportion of useful markers almost twofold and the development of highly polymorphic micros Satellite markers using procedures optimized for the large wheat genome is reported.

TL;DR: This work used RNA-mediated interference to target 98% of all genes predicted in the C. elegans genome in combination with differential interference contrast time-lapse microscopy and developed a phenotypic profiling system, which shows high correlation with cellular processes and biochemical pathways, thus enabling to predict new functions for previously uncharacterized genes.

TL;DR: It was found that wheat microsatellites are relatively long containing up to 40 dinucleotide repeats, and more variation was detected with the micros satellite markers than with RFLP markers with, on average, 4.6 different alleles per microsatellite.
