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.

Many human L1 elements are capable of retrotransposition.

TL;DR: Using a selective screening strategy to enrich for active L1 elements, 13 full-length elements were isolated from a human genomic library and two previously-isolated L1s (L1.3 and L1.4) for reverse transcriptase activity and the ability to retrotranspose in HeLa cells.

A Generalized Hidden Markov Model for the Recognition of Human Genes in DNA

TL;DR: A Generalized Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) provides the framework for describing the grammar of a legal parse of a DNA sequence and provides simple solutions for integrating cardinality constraints, reading frame constraints, "indels", and homology searching.

Conserved noncoding sequences are reliable guides to regulatory elements.

TL;DR: A 'working draft' of the human genome sequence is now available and Comparisons with the sequences of mouse and other species will be a powerful approach to identifying functional segments of the noncoding regions, such as gene regulatory elements.

Comparison of the Complete Protein Sets of Worm and Yeast: Orthology and Divergence

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of predicted protein sequences encoded by the genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggests that most of the core biological functions are carried out by orthologous proteins that occur in comparable numbers.

Evolutionary analyses of the human genome

TL;DR: Computational analyses of the human genome will reveal the number of genes and repetitive elements, the extent of gene duplication and compositional heterogeneity in thehuman genome, andThe extent of domain shuffling and domain sharing among proteins.
