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.

The mammalian gene collection.

TL;DR: The Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) project is a new effort by the NIH to generate full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) resources that will provide publicly accessible resources to the full research community.

The Impact of Comparative Genomics on Our Understanding of Evolution

TL;DR: The problem of the genome–phenotype connection, which, in a sense, is the central theme of biology, can be solved only through an experimental program strategically planned on the basis of comparative-genomic results.

Comparison of human genetic and sequence-based physical maps

TL;DR: Estimates of female, male and sex-average recombination rates for about 60% of the genome are described and several chromosomal regions up to 6 Mb in length are identified with particularly low (deserts) or high (jungles) recombination rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene index analysis of the human genome estimates approximately 120,000 genes.

TL;DR: Using highly refined and tested algorithms for EST analysis, two independent estimates are arrived at indicating the human genome contains approximately 120,000 genes.
