TL;DR: The Arabidopsis Genome Sequencing Project was officially completed in late 2000, leading to the publication of a landmark paper describing, in broad outline, many salient features of theArabidopsis genome.

TL;DR: Comparative studies of the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana and its close relative Brassica oleracea have identified conserved regions that represent potentially functional sequences overlooked by previousArabidopsis genome annotation methods, and suggest that several thousand new Arabidops genes remain to be identified and annotated.

TL;DR: High-throughput method of rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) revealed numerous transcripts including many uncharacterized variants from these hypothetical genes, indicating at least 50% of hypothetical genes on chromosome 2 are expressed in the cDNA populations with about 38% of the gene structures differing from their predictions.

TL;DR: Using genomic sequence from chimpanzee and rhesus macaque, the breakpoints defining a large pericentric inversion that occurred some time after the split of Homininae from Ponginae are characterized and an evolutionary history of the inversion is proposed.

TL;DR: Alignment of the human chromosome 12 sequence across vertebrates reveals the origin of individual segments in chicken, and a unique history of rearrangement through rodent and primate lineages.
