Closing gaps in the human genome using sequencing by synthesis (2009)

Garber, Manuel, Zody, Michael C, Arachchi, Harindra M, Berlin, Aaron, Gnerre, Sante, Green, Lisa M, ...

Abstract The most recent release of the finished human genome contains 260 euchromatic gaps (excluding chromosome Y). Recent work has helped explain a large number of these unresolved regions as...

Closing gaps in the human genome using sequencing by synthesis (2009)

The most recent release of the finished human genome contains 260 euchromatic gaps (excluding chromosome Y). Recent work has helped explain a large number of these unresolved regions as 'structural'...

Methods Whole-Genome Sequence Assembly for Mammalian Genomes: Arachne 2 (2008)

David B. Jaffe, Jonathan Butler, Sante Gnerre, Evan Mauceli, Kerstin Lindblad-toh, Jill P. Mesirov, ...

Initial sequence and comparative analysis of the cat genome (2007)

Pontius, Joan U., Mullikin, James C., Smith, Douglas R., Lindblad-Toh, Kerstin, Gnerre, Sante, ...

The genome sequence (1.9-fold coverage) of an inbred Abyssinian domestic cat was assembled, mapped, and annotated with a comparative approach that involved cross-reference to annotated genome...

Analyses of deep mammalian sequence alignments and constraint predictions for 1% of the human genome (2007)

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,...

Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome (2005)

Mikkelsen, Tarjei S., Hillier, LaDeana W., Eichler, Evan E., Zody, Michael C., Jaffe, David B., Yang, Shiaw-Pyng, ...

Here we present a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Through comparison with the human genome, we have generated a largely complete catalogue of the genetic differences...

ARACHNE: A Whole-Genome Shotgun Assembler

Batzoglou, Serafim, Jaffe, David B., Stanley, Ken, Butler, Jonathan, Gnerre, Sante, Mauceli, Evan, ...

We describe a new computer system, called ARACHNE, for assembling genome sequence using paired-end whole-genome shotgun reads. ARACHNE has several key features, including an efficient and sensitive...

Analysis of Chimpanzee History Based on Genome Sequence Alignments

Caswell, Jennifer L., Mallick, Swapan, Richter, Daniel J., Neubauer, Julie, Schirmer, Christine, Gnerre, Sante, ...

Population geneticists often study small numbers of carefully chosen loci, but it has become possible to obtain orders of magnitude for more data from overlaps of genome sequences. Here, we generate...

The difficulty of avoiding false positives in genome scans for natural selection

Mallick, Swapan, Gnerre, Sante, Muller, Paul, Reich, David

Several studies have found evidence for more positive selection on the chimpanzee lineage compared with the human lineage since the two species split. A potential concern, however, is that these...
