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.

DNA precursor asymmetries, replication fidelity, and variable genome evolution.

TL;DR: This essay considers the effective dNTP concentrations at replication sites under normal conditions, and asks how maintenance of these levels contributes toward the natural fidelity of DNA replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human genes for U2 small nuclear RNA map to a major adenovirus 12 modification site on chromosome 17.

TL;DR: The assignment, by in situ hybridization, of the U2 gene cluster to chromosome 17, bands q21–q22 is reported, suggesting that snRNA genes are the major targets of viral chromosome modification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the Quality and Utility of Random Shotgun Sequencing at Low Redundancies

TL;DR: It is suggested that a useful intermediate product for genome sequencing might be obtained by three- to fourfold redundancy, which would allow a large amount of biologically useful data to be extracted while postponing the majority of work involved in producing a high quality consensus sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bov‐B Long Interspersed Repeated DNA (LINE) Sequences are Present in Vipera Ammodytes Phospholipase A2 Genes and in Genomes of Viperidae Snakes

TL;DR: The phylogenetic distribution of Bov-B LINE among vertebrate classes shows that, besides the Ruminantia, it is limited to Viperidae snakes (Vipera ammodytes, Vipera palaestinae, Echis coloratus, Bothrops alternatus, Trimesurus flavoviridis and Trimeresurus gramineus).
Journal ArticleDOI

Guide to the draft human genome

TL;DR: An overview of the different sources of information about the human genome and how modern information technology, in particular the internet, allows us to link them together is provided.
