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.

Can sequencing shed light on cell cycling

TL;DR: This work studied two protein families—the cyclins and their partners the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and a conserved regulatory circuit, the spindle checkpoint, which could shed little light on the organization of the cell cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Therapeutic Reactivation of Fetal Haemoglobin

TL;DR: Results are encouraging, however, in particular in view of the recent demonstration that other monogenic diseases, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for example, might be amenable to the same therapeutic strategy.

Automation for genomics, part one: Preparation for sequencing

TL;DR: This two-part noncomprehensive review will provide an overview of different types of automation equipment used in genome sequencing, including equipment involved in DNA preparation, DNA sequencing reactions, and other automated procedures for preparing DNA for running on sequencers or subsequent analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human genes encoding U3 snRNA associate with coiled bodies in interphase cells and are clustered on chromosome 17p11.2 in a complex inverted repeat structure

TL;DR: It is shown that human U3 genes (the RNU3 locus) preferentially associate with CBs in interphase cells, and the genomic organization of the RNU 3 locus is analyzed by constructing a BAC and P1 clone contig.

Emergence and Scattering of Multiple Neurofibromatosis (NF1)-Related Sequences During Hominoid Evolution Suggest a Process of Pericentromeric Interchromosomal Transposition

TL;DR: Intriguing similarities between the evolution of alpha-satellite DNA and NF1-related sequences suggest the involvement of a common genetic mechanism for the generation and pericentric spreading of these NF1 partial copies.
