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.

Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Small Nucleolar RNAs Guide the Ribose Methylations of Eukaryotic rRNAs

TL;DR: This chapter provides a progress report on developments that should set the stage for dissecting the rRNA-ribose methylation machinery and for deciphering the role of these modifications in ribosome assembly and function.

TL;DR: By measuring the remaining gaps, this work can assess chromosome length and coverage in sequenced clones and establish the long-range organization of the maps early in the project.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genomic view of immunology

TL;DR: Three synergistic approaches—sequence homology searches, messenger RNA expression profiling on microarrays, and mutagenesis in mice—provide the best opportunities to reveal, in the genome sequence, key proteins and pathways for targeting by new immunomodulatory treatments.

Expressed genes, Alu repeats and polymorphisms in cosmids sequenced from chromosome 4p16.3.

TL;DR: The sequences of three cosmids (90 kilobases) from the Huntington's disease region in chromosome 4p16.3 have been determined and the structure of one of the new genes, hda1–1, has been determined by characterizing cDNAs from a placental library.
