Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution

LaDeana W. Hillier, +174 more
- 09 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus, provides a new perspective on vertebrate genome evolution, while also improving the annotation of mammalian genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive analysis of acquired resistance to cancer therapy by sequencing of plasma DNA

TL;DR: Serial analysis of cancer genomes in plasma constitutes a new paradigm for the study of clonal evolution in human cancers, establishing proof of principle that exome-wide analysis of circulating tumour DNA could complement current invasive biopsy approaches to identify mutations associated with acquired drug resistance in advanced cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic sequence of the pathogenic and allergenic filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus

William C. Nierman, +120 more
- 22 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The Af293 genome sequence provides an unparalleled resource for the future understanding of this remarkable fungus and revealed temperature-dependent expression of distinct sets of genes, as well as 700 A. fumigatus genes not present or significantly diverged in the closely related sexual species Neosartorya fischeri, many of which may have roles in the pathogenicity phenotype.
