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.

Genomic imprinting in mammals: an interplay between chromatin and DNA methylation?

TL;DR: The novel data raise the question of whether specific proteins and associated chromatin features regulate the allele-specificity of DNA methylation at these imprinting control elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations between isochores and chromosomal bands in the human genome

TL;DR: The results not only clarify the correlations between DNA base composition and chromosomal bands but also provide information on the distribution of genes in chromosomes, gene concentration increasing with the G+C levels of isochores.

Reading between the LINEs: Human Genomic Variation Induced by LINE-1 Retrotransposition

TL;DR: A PCR-based display for the direct identification of dimorphic L1 elements from the human genome is reported, which represents a new source of identical-by-descent variation for the study of human evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

The distribution of interspersed repeats is nonuniform and conserved in the mouse and human genomes

TL;DR: The genomic distribution of mouse and human repeated sequences is nonuniform and conserved in two mammalian species, and it is observed that the base composition of two classes of repeats is correlated with the composition of the major components in which they are embedded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal and nuclear distribution of the HindIII 1.9-kb human DNA repeat segment

TL;DR: The chromosomal distribution of the 1.9-kb repeat suggests that this sequence may reflect, or participate in defining, ordered structureal domains along the chromosome.
