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.

Two Sequence-Ready Contigs Spanning the Two Copies of a 200-kb Duplication on Human 21q: Partial Sequence and Polymorphisms ☆

TL;DR: The homology of this chromosome 21 duplicated region with the pericentromeric regions of chromosomes 13, 2, and 18 suggests that the mechanism involved is probably similar to pericentrumeric-directed mechanisms described in interchromosomal duplications.

A strategy for sequencing the genome 5 years early

Eliot Marshall
- 10 Feb 1995 - 
TL;DR: The chief goal of the Human Genome Project - obtaining a complete sequence of the 3 billion bases in human DNA - can be achieved as early as 2001, 5 years ahead of schedule, assuming a basic shift from mapping to sequencing.

NIH to Produce a 'Working Draft' of the Genome by 2001

Eliot Marshall
- 18 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: A radical change of plan will not only speed up the pace at government-funded labs but also, according to some of NHGRI9s advisers, release data so rapidly that companies like Perkin-Elmer may not be able to get exclusive rights to all the DNA they hoped to patent.
