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.

BACE Maps to Chromosome 11 and a BACE Homolog, BACE2, Reside in the Obligate Down Syndrome Region of Chromosome 21

TL;DR: This work has shown that deposits of amyloid-β in senile plaques are a key neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and the major component of plaques is the 39– to 43–amino acid amyloids-β peptide.

A New Troponin T and cDNA Clones for 13 Different Muscle Proteins, Found by Shotgun Sequencing

TL;DR: Cl clones for 13 of the 19 known muscle-specific proteins were identified, in addition to the clone for the new troponin T isotype, and over the region of nucleotide sequence overlap in the tropon in T clones, the new isotype diverges significantly from its counterpart10.
Journal ArticleDOI

Base compositional structure of genomes

TL;DR: A significant shift in the style of domain models is suggested, in which the variation of A+T content with position is modeled by a random walk with frequent small steps rather than with large quantum jumps, to reduce the amount of computation in the assembly of large sequences from sequences of randomly chosen fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organization, structure, and function of 95 kb of DNA spanning the murine T-cell receptor CαCδ region

TL;DR: These studies support the contention that large-scale DNA sequencing projects of homologous regions of mouse and human will provide powerful new tools for studying the biology and evolution of loci such as the T-cell receptor and for identifying and posing new questions about the functions of conserved sequences.

Primate Evolution of an Olfactory Receptor Cluster: Diversification by Gene Conversion and Recent Emergence of Pseudogenes ☆

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the functional mammalian OR repertoire has undergone a rapid decline in the past 10 million years: while for the common ancestor of all great apes an intact OR cluster is inferred, in present-day humans and great apes the cluster includes nearly 40% pseudogenes.
