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.

The lengths of undiscovered conserved segments in comparative maps.

TL;DR: It is shown that undiscovered conserved segments in comparative maps are expected to be short, as is being found in current mapping efforts, and a method is proposed for predicting the average length of conserving segments that remain to be discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The FSHD region on human chromosome 4q35 contains potential coding regions among pseudogenes and a high density of repeat elements.

TL;DR: The high density of pseudogenes and repeat elements is consistent with the subtelomeric location of this region and explains why previous transcript identification studies have been problematic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin of multicellular eukaryotes - insights from proteome comparisons.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the complete genomes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans reveal some striking trends in terms of expansions or extensive shuffling of specific domains that are involved in regulatory functions and signaling.

Human L1 retrotransposition: insights and peculiarities learned from a cultured cell retrotransposition assay.

TL;DR: Progress made in L1 biology during the past three years is reviewed, and interesting parallels to rodent L1s and other non-LTR retrotransposons also will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human BAC ends quality assessment and sequence analyses.

TL;DR: The annotation results of BESs for the contents of available genomic sequences, sequence tagged sites, expressed sequence tags, protein encoding regions, and repeats indicate that this resource will be valuable in many areas of genome research.
