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.

Analysis of expressed sequence tags indicates 35,000 human genes

TL;DR: The number of human genes is estimated by comparing a set of human expressed sequence tag (EST) contigs with human chromosome 22 and with a non-redundant set of mRNA sequences to give mutually consistent estimates of approximately 35,000, substantially lower than most previous estimates.

Ancestral, Mammalian-wide Subfamilies of LINE-1 Repetitive Sequences

TL;DR: Analysis of the 3'-ends of approximately 900 separate human LINE-1 (L1) elements from primates revealed 47 contiguous but distinct subfamilies with the L1 family, and with the set of consensus sequences for different subfam families and their diagnostic features, it is possible to estimate the age of individual Line-1 elements.

The numerous modified nucleotides in eukaryotic ribosomal RNA.

TL;DR: The diversity of modification sites is discussed in the chapter, and this diversity raises challenging questions concerning the molecular recognition processes that bring about the modifications.

Using GeneWise in the Drosophila Annotation Experiment

TL;DR: Investigation indicates that many of the incorrect gene predictions from GeneWise were due to transposons with valid protein-coding genes and the remaining cases are pseudogenes or possible annotation oversights.
