TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce a high-quality draft sequence of the mouse genome are reported and an initial comparative analysis of the Mouse and human genomes is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the two sequences.

TL;DR: This work has examined the completeness of the transcript annotation and found that 35% of transcriptional start sites are supported by CAGE clusters and 62% of protein-coding genes have annotated polyA sites, and over one-third of GENCODE protein-Coding genes aresupported by peptide hits derived from mass spectrometry spectra submitted to Peptide Atlas.

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 University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser Database is an up to date source for genome sequence data integrated with a large collection of related annotations that is optimized to support fast interactive performance with the web-based UCSC Genome browser.

TL;DR: This work generates primary data, creates bioinformatics tools and provides analysis to support the work of expert manual gene annotators and automated gene annotation pipelines to identify and characterise gene loci to the highest standard.
