Savard, Joël, Tautz, Diethard, Richards, Stephen, Weinstock, George M., Gibbs, Richard A., Werren, John H., ...

Comparative studies require knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between taxa. However, neither morphological nor paleontological data have been able to unequivocally resolve the major groups...

Recurrent duplication-driven transposition of DNA during hominoid evolution

Johnson, Matthew E., Cheng, Ze, Morrison, V. Anne, Scherer, Steven, Ventura, Mario, Gibbs, Richard A., ...

The underlying mechanism by which the interspersed pattern of human segmental duplications has evolved is unknown. Based on a comparative analysis of primate genomes, we show that a particular...

Analyses of deep mammalian sequence alignments and constraint predictions for 1% of the human genome

Margulies, Elliott H., Cooper, Gregory M., Asimenos, George, Thomas, Daryl J., Dewey, Colin N., Siepel, Adam, ...

A key component of the ongoing ENCODE project involves rigorous comparative sequence analyses for the initially targeted 1% of the human genome. Here, we present orthologous sequence generation,...

28-Way vertebrate alignment and conservation track in the UCSC Genome Browser

Miller, Webb, Rosenbloom, Kate, Hardison, Ross C., Hou, Minmei, Taylor, James, Raney, Brian, ...

This article describes a set of alignments of 28 vertebrate genome sequences that is provided by the UCSC Genome Browser. The alignments can be viewed on the Human Genome Browser (March 2006...

The Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli DH10B: Insights into the Biology of a Laboratory Workhorse▿ †

Durfee, Tim, Nelson, Richard, Baldwin, Schuyler, Plunkett, Guy, Burland, Valerie, Mau, Bob, ...

Escherichia coli DH10B was designed for the propagation of large insert DNA library clones. It is used extensively, taking advantage of properties such as high DNA transformation efficiency and...

Large scale variation in Enterococcus faecalis illustrated by the genome analysis of strain OG1RF

Bourgogne, Agathe, Garsin, Danielle A, Qin, Xiang, Singh, Kavindra V, Sillanpaa, Jouko, Yerrapragada, Shailaja, ...

A comparison of two strains of the hospital pathogen Enterococcus faecalis suggests that mediators of virulence differ between strains and that virulence does not depend on mobile gene elements

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis caused by deletion of the GM-CSFRα gene in the X chromosome pseudoautosomal region 1

Martinez-Moczygemba, Margarita, Doan, Minh L., Elidemir, Okan, Fan, Leland L., Cheung, Sau Wai, Lei, Jonathan T., ...

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disorder in which surfactant-derived lipoproteins accumulate excessively within pulmonary alveoli, causing severe respiratory distress. The...

A sequence-level map of chromosomal breakpoints in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line yields insights into the evolution of a cancer genome

Hampton, Oliver A., Den Hollander, Petra, Miller, Christopher A., Delgado, David A., Li, Jian, Coarfa, Cristian, ...

By applying a method that combines end-sequence profiling and massively parallel sequencing, we obtained a sequence-level map of chromosomal aberrations in the genome of the MCF-7 breast cancer cell...
