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.

Urinary biomarkers in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated urinary levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), N -acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) as biomarkers for the detection of acute kidney injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the mammalian transcription factor binding repertoire via transposable elements

TL;DR: It is established that these repeat-associated binding sites (RABS) have been associated with significant regulatory expansions throughout the mammalian phylogeny and that transposable elements play an important role in expanding the repertoire of binding sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput crystallography for lead discovery in drug design.

TL;DR: How significant advances in process automation and informatics have aided the development of high-throughput X-ray crystallography is described, and the use of this technique for structure-based lead discovery is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

New developments in the InterPro database

TL;DR: The latest InterPro release (13.0) contains more than 13 000 entries, covering over 78% of all proteins in UniProtKB, and there have been several new developments in InterPro, including an additional reading field, new database links, extensions to the web interface and additional match XML files.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative splicing and genome complexity.

TL;DR: It is shown, using large-scale expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis, that among seven different eukaryotes the amount of alternative splicing is comparable, with no large differences between humans and other animals.

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
- 16 Feb 2001 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
