A Comprehensive Map of Mobile Element Insertion Polymorphisms in Humans

TL;DR: A direct comparison of MEI and SNP diversity levels suggests a differential mobile element insertion rate among populations, and a comprehensive map of 7,380 MEI polymorphisms from the 1000 Genomes Project whole-genome sequencing data is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance comparison of whole-genome sequencing platforms

TL;DR: This work sequenced the genome of an individual with both Illumina and Complete Genomics to a high average coverage, and compared their performance with respect to sequence coverage and calling of single-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compartmentalization of the cell cortex by septins is required for maintenance of cell polarity in yeast.

TL;DR: This work found that cells lacking septins at the bud neck failed to maintain the exocytosis and morphogenesis factors Spa2, Sec3, Sec5, and Myo2 in the bud during isotropic growth, and proposed that septin maintain cell polarity by specifying a boundary between cortical domains.
