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.

Mutations in the CNGB3 gene encoding the β-subunit of the cone photoreceptor cGMP-gated channel are responsible for achromatopsia (ACHM3) linked to chromosome 8q21

TL;DR: Using RT-PCR and RACE, the human cDNA homologue, designated CNGB3, was identified and cloned, which encodes an 809 amino acid polypeptide and was present on 11 of 22 disease chromosomes segregating in families.

Classification of Introns: U2-Type or U12-Type

TL;DR: These consensus indicate that the U12-type spliceosome may be more dinucleotides were almost universal, suggesting that inclosely related togroup II introns than the more common trons were of a common origin and excised from preU2- type spliceOSome.

EST_GENOME: a program to align spliced DNA sequences to unspliced genomic DNA

Richard Mott

TL;DR: The EST_GENOME program as discussed by the authors aligns spliced DNA to unspliced genomic DNA using a modified version of Smith and Waterman's expression tag (EST) algorithm.

Unit-length line-1 transcripts in human teratocarcinoma cells.

TL;DR: The data support proposals suggesting that the human L1 family includes one or more functional genes as well as an extraordinarily large number of pseudogenes whose ORFs are broken by stop codons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guided tours: from precursor snoRNA to functional snoRNP.

TL;DR: Progress in understanding how snoRNA sequences are stored within genomes, liberated from precursor molecules and targeted to the nucleolus has begun to elucidate each step in the biogenesis of these critical contributors to ribosome formation.
