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.

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.

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.

Conserved seed pairing, often flanked by adenosines, indicates that thousands of human genes are microRNA targets

TL;DR: In a four-genome analysis of 3' UTRs, approximately 13,000 regulatory relationships were detected above the estimate of false-positive predictions, thereby implicating as miRNA targets more than 5300 human genes, which represented 30% of the gene set.

The Human Genome Browser at UCSC

TL;DR: A mature web tool for rapid and reliable display of any requested portion of the genome at any scale, together with several dozen aligned annotation tracks, is provided at http://genome.ucsc.edu.

Velvet: Algorithms for de novo short read assembly using de Bruijn graphs

TL;DR: Velvet represents a new approach to assembly that can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies and is in close agreement with simulated results without read-pair information.

Human L1 Retrotransposon Encodes a Conserved Endonuclease Required for Retrotransposition

TL;DR: It is proposed that L1 EN cleaves the target site for L1 insertion and primes reverse transcription, and mutations in conserved amino acid residues of L1EN abolish its nicking activity and eliminate L1 retrotransposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Number of CpG islands and genes in human and mouse

TL;DR: Analysis of a selection of genes suggests that both human and mouse are losing CpG islands over evolutionary time due to de novo methylation in the germ line followed by C pG loss through mutation, which appears to be more rapid in rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding DNA regulatory motifs within unaligned noncoding sequences clustered by whole-genome mRNA quantitation

TL;DR: Whole-genome mRNA quantitation is tested by applying it to three extensively studied regulatory systems in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae: galactose response, heat shock, and mating type, and yielded all of the four relevant DNA motifs and most of the known a- and α-specific genes.

Mutations of the gene encoding the protein kinase A type I-α regulatory subunit in patients with the Carney complex

TL;DR: It is concluded that germline mutations in PRKAR1A, an apparent tumour-suppressor gene, are responsible for the CNC phenotype in a subset of patients with this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A system for rapid DNA sequencing with fluorescent chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides

TL;DR: A DNA sequencing system based on the use of a novel set of four chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides, each carrying a different chemically tuned succinylfluorescein dye distinguished by its fluorescent emission, and the sequence analysis of M13 phage DNA made with this system is described.
