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.

Sequence and analysis of the human ABL gene, the BCR gene, and regions involved in the Philadelphia chromosomal translocation.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of genomic sequences encompassing the murine homologues to the human ABL exons 1b and 1a, as well as regions encompassing those of the BCR exons 2 and 3, reveals that although there is a high degree of homology in their corresponding exons and promoter regions, these two vertebrate species show a striking lack ofhomology outside these regions.

The modulation of DNA content: proximate causes and ultimate consequences.

TL;DR: There is increasing evidence for the primacy of selection in molding genome sizes via impacts on cell size and division rates and processes inducing quantum or doubling series variation in gametic or somatic genome sizes are common.

The olfactory receptor gene superfamily: data mining, classification, and nomenclature.

TL;DR: Analysis of the first identification of OR sequences from a marsupial and a monotreme suggests that the ancestral mammal had a small OR repertoire, which expanded independently in all three mammalian subclasses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of olfactory receptor genes in the human genome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that members of the olfactory receptor (OR) gene family are distributed on all but a few human chromosomes and through FISH analysis, it is shown that OR sequences reside at more than 25 locations in the human genome.
