TL;DR: This study provides a broad foundation for cross-platform standardization, evaluation and improvement of RNA-seq, showing high intraplatform and inter-platform concordance for expression measures across the deep-count platforms, but highly variable efficiency and cost for splice junction and variant detection between all platforms.

TL;DR: The BAC clone-based comparative map provides a foundation for the evolutionary analysis of mammalian karyotypes and for sequencing of the cattle genome.

TL;DR: A strand-specific method was applied to sequence bacterial transcripts using Illumina's high-throughput sequencing technology and identified and confirmed transcriptional activity in areas of the genome inconsistent with the annotation and in unannotated regions, suggesting a role for RpoN-dependent promoter sequences upstream of several noncoding RNAs.

TL;DR: The quality of the data from the soybean cDNA microarrays is sufficiently reliable to examine isogenic lines that differ with respect to a mutant phenotype and thereby to define a small list of candidate genes potentially encoding or modulated by the mutant phenotype.

TL;DR: A novel practical strategy with a semi-automated pipeline that incorporates trait-associated single nucleotide polymorphism marker discovery, low-cost genotyping through amplicon sequencing (AmpSeq) and decision making is developed.
