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.

Local sequence dependence of rate of base replacement in mammals

TL;DR: The local sequence context of base replacement changes in 78 processed pseudogenes is analysed, finding that transversions occur more often than transitions in a ratio of 3.37 to 1, and G:C is replaced 1.4 times more frequently than A:T.

A primate transfer RNA gene cluster and the evolution of human chromosome 1.

TL;DR: The data show that the tRNA(Asn) gene cluster has been split in two since before the Old World monkeys and hominids diverged, i.e., over 30 million years ago, and that the original transfer of these genes from one arm of chromosome 1 to the other was unlikely to have involved a pericentric inversion but, rather, some form of replicative transposition.

Human tRNAGlu genes: their copy number and organisation.

TL;DR: Most of the tRNAGlu genes are flanked by DNA of very similar sequence for at least 5 kb, supported by the close similarity of the restriction maps of two λ Charon‐4A recombinants of human genomic DNA containing two different tRNAglu genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutive heterochromatin C-band polymorphism in prostatic cancer.

TL;DR: The size, incidence of inversions, and symmetry versus asymmetry of C-band heteromorphisms on chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 in peripheral blood lymphocytes from 52 prostatic cancer patients and 183 healthy individuals were investigated.
