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.

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.

A genetic linkage map of the mouse: current applications and future prospects

TL;DR: This work presents a new generation of high-resolution genetic linkage maps for the mouse that offer exciting prospects for understanding mammalian genome evolution through comparative mapping, for developing mouse models of human disease, and for identifying the function of all genes in the organism.

Disruption of the APC Gene by a Retrotransposal Insertion of L1 Sequence in a Colon Cancer

TL;DR: Since an 8-base pair target site duplication was observed, retrotranscriptional insertion of an active LINE-1 sequence is suspected as the cause of this insertion event.

The multiplicity of domains in proteins

TL;DR: The available data best fit a scenario whereby a relative small number of genes encoding domain-sized polypeptides has been expanded by duplication and modification with a burst of exceptional genomic rearrangement.

The impact of L1 retrotransposons on the human genome.

TL;DR: The impact of retrotransposons and how new insight is likely to lead to important practical applications for these intriguing mobile elements are reviewed.
