Journal ArticleDOI

Composition and Evolution of the Vertebrate and Mammalian Selenoproteomes

TL;DR: This analysis represents the first comprehensive survey of the vertebrate and mammal selenoproteomes, and depicts their evolution along lineages and provides a wealth of information on these selenobroteins and their forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Assessment of Gene Prediction Accuracy in Large DNA Sequences

TL;DR: Though gene prediction will improve with every new protein that is discovered and through improvements in the current set of tools, there is a long way to go before the authors can decipher the precise exonic structure of every gene in the human genome using purely computational methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tandem chimerism as a means to increase protein complexity in the human genome

TL;DR: Strong evidence is provided that at least 4%-5% of the tandem gene pairs in the human genome can be eventually transcribed into a single RNA sequence encoding a putative chimeric protein, and that this phenomenon is a common mechanism with the potential of generating hundreds of additional proteins in thehuman genome.
