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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

SINEs and LINEs Share Common 3' Sequences: A Review

TL;DR: The generality of this architecture of SINEs is discussed, adding new examples of pairs of Sines and LINEs, which include one complete and two probable examples from this laboratory and one complete example from the laboratory of Arian Smit.

Large Genomic Duplicons Map to Sites of Instability in the Prader-Willi/Angelman Syndrome Chromosome Region (15q11–q13)

TL;DR: The presence of large duplicated segments on chromosome 15q11-q13 provides a mechanism for homologous unequal recombination events that may mediate the frequent rearrangements observed for this chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete form of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness is caused by mutations in a gene encoding a leucine-rich repeat protein

TL;DR: A contig is constructed and analysed between the markers DXS993 and DXS228, leading to the identification of a new gene mutated in CSNB1 patients, which encodes a protein of 481 amino acids (nyctalopin) and is expressed at low levels in tissues including retina, brain, testis and muscle.

Selective Inactivation of the Exonuclease Activity of Bacteriophage T7 DNA Polymerase by in Vitro Mutagenesis

TL;DR: Differences in the enzymatic properties between the two forms are exploited to show by a chemical screen that modification of a histidine residue reduces selectively the exonuclease activity of bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polypurine sequences within a downstream exon function as a splicing enhancer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that purine-rich sequences that are examined in this study also represent examples of ERS, a general splicing element that is present in various exons and plays an important role in splice site selection.
