Abstract
The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

Infectious Diseases: Considerations for the 21st Century

TL;DR: The sequencing of human and microbial genomes and advances in functional genomics will underpin significant progress in many areas, including understanding human predisposition and susceptibility to disease, microbial pathogenesis, and the development new diagnostics, vaccines, and therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

What can exome sequencing do for you

TL;DR: An overview of the current and future use of next generation sequencing as it relates to whole exome sequencing in human disease by focusing on the technical capabilities, limitations and ethical issues associated with this technology in the field of genetics and human disease is provided.

Gene Transfer into Genomes of Human Cells by the Sleeping Beauty Transposon System

TL;DR: Overexpression inhibition studies revealed that there are optimal ratios of SB transposase to transposon for maximal rates of transposition, suggesting that conditions of delivery of the two-part transposons system are important for the best gene-transfer efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the transcriptome and proteome in three functionally different human cell lines

TL;DR: This study shows a path to characterize the transcriptome and proteome in human cells from different origins based on sequence‐based transcriptome analysis (RNA‐seq), SILAC‐based mass spectrometry analysis and antibody‐based confocal microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring tissue architecture using spatial transcriptomics.

TL;DR: Spatial transcriptomics can also be used for hypothesis testing using experimental designs that compare time points or conditions, including genetic or environmental perturbations as mentioned in this paper, and is naturally amenable to integration with other data modalities, providing an expandable framework for insight into tissue organization.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pfam protein families database

TL;DR: The definition and use of family-specific, manually curated gathering thresholds are explained and some of the features of domains of unknown function (also known as DUFs) are discussed, which constitute a rapidly growing class of families within Pfam.

The sequence of the human genome.

J. Craig Venter, +272 more

TL;DR: Comparative genomic analysis indicates vertebrate expansions of genes associated with neuronal function, with tissue-specific developmental regulation, and with the hemostasis and immune systems are indicated.

Identification of common molecular subsequences.

TL;DR: This letter extends the heuristic homology algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch (1970) to find a pair of segments, one from each of two long sequences, such that there is no other Pair of segments with greater similarity (homology).
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented and shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs.
