TL;DR: A map-based, finished quality sequence that covers 95% of the 389 Mb rice genome, including virtually all of the euchromatin and two complete centromeres, and finds evidence for widespread and recurrent gene transfer from the organelles to the nuclear chromosomes.

TL;DR: The construction and application of a shRNA expression library targeting 9,610 human and 5,563 mouse genes is reported, which suggests that the large-scale RNAi library can be used in specific, genetic applications in mammals, and will become a valuable resource for gene analysis and discovery.

TL;DR: This work has developed a method of using flexible, high-density microarrays to capture any desired fraction of the human genome, in this case corresponding to more than 200,000 protein-coding exons, and provides an adaptable route toward rapid and efficient resequencing of any sizeable, non-repeat portion of thehuman genome.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the sequence of chromosome 10, the smallest of the 12 rice chromosomes (22.4 megabases), which contains 3471 genes and multiple insertions from organellar genomes were detected.

TL;DR: Comparison with the rice genome reveals that methylation filtration results in a more comprehensive representation of maize genes than those that result from expressed sequence tags or transposon insertion sites sequences.
