Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome.

Eric S. Lander, +248 more
- 15 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

Genetic conflicts in human pregnancy.

TL;DR: The placenta is able to release hormones and other substances directly into the maternal circulation as discussed by the authors, which can be interpreted as an attempt by a poorly nourished fetus to increase its supply of nutrients by increasing the resistance of its mother's peripheral circulation.

Differential activation by atrial and brain natriuretic peptides of two different receptor guanylate cyclases

TL;DR: The cloning and expression of a second human natriuretic peptide-receptor guanylate cyclase, the ANP-B receptor, is reported, which is preferentially activated by porcine brain natriuric peptide rather than human α-ANP, and may have important implications for the understanding of the central and peripheral control of cardiovascular homeostasis.

Adverse Health Consequences of Performance-Enhancing Drugs: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement

TL;DR: This scientific statement synthesizes available information on the medical consequences of P ED use, identifies gaps in knowledge, and aims to focus the attention of the medical community and policymakers on PED use as an important public health problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of linkage between the angiotensin converting enzyme locus and human essential hypertension.

TL;DR: The localization of the ACE gene on the genetic map of chromosome 17 is reported, and an extremely polymorphic marker at the human growth hormone (hGH) locus which shows no recombination with ACE is identified which suggests that mutations at the ACE locus do not commonly contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Improved M13 phage cloning vectors and host strains: nucleotide sequences of the M13mp18 and pUC19 vectors

TL;DR: New Escherichia coli host strains have been constructed for the E. coli bacteriophage M13 and the high-copy-number pUC-plasmid cloning vectors and mutations introduced into these strains improve cloning of unmodified DNA and of repetitive sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supercoil sequencing: a fast and simple method for sequencing plasmid DNA

TL;DR: A method for obtaining sequence information directly from plasmid DNA is presented, and the advantages include speed, simplicity, avoidance of additional cloning steps into single-stranded phage M13 vectors, and hence applicability to sequencing large numbers of samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclease hypersensitive sites in chromatin

TL;DR: The history and present situation of Hypersensitive Sites, as well as some of the myths and legends surrounding the sites, are reviewed.
Book ChapterDOI

Establishing homologies in protein sequences

TL;DR: Computer-based statistical techniques used to determine homologies between proteins occurring in different species are reviewed and the use of the SEARCH, RELATE, and ALIGN programs is explained.
