Decoding the human genome.
Interpreting the human genome sequence is one of the major scientific endeavors of our time. In February 2001, when the human genome reference sequence was initially released (Lander et al. 2001), our understanding of the encoded contents was surprisingly limited. It was perplexing to many in the scientific community when we realized that the human genome contains only ;21,000 distinct protein-...
متن کاملDecoding the human genome sequence.
The year 2000 is marked by the production of the sequence of the human genome. A 'working draft' of high quality sequence covering 90% of the genome has been determined and a quarter is in finished form, including the first two completed chromosomes. All sequence data from the project is made freely available to the community via the Internet, for further analysis and exploitation. The challeng...
متن کاملDecoding poxvirus genome
Deciphering the information encoded in genomic sequences is a key step in modern biomedical research. Recent findings indicate that this endeavor can be far more complex than anticipated, even for relatively small viral genomes. Vaccinia virus, the prototypic member of the poxvirus family, was initially annotated to have approximately 200 open reading frames (ORFs) of 65 or more amino acids wit...
متن کاملidentification and discovery of novel micrornas in the human genome
although more than 98% of the human genome is transcribed, most of these transcripts are not translated into proteins. rather, they are considered as non-coding rnas. micrornas (mirnas) are very short non-coding rnas approximately 22 nucleotides in length which regulate many key processes of cells such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis (programmed cell death) and ...
متن کاملDecoding the Human Motor Cortex
A human being’s motor cortex becomes engaged when he or she performs specific motions. However, little is known about the relationship between the regions in the motor cortex. Neuroscience has not reached consensus over how motions for specific joints relate, or how engagement changes when a motion is performed more forcefully. We obtained fMRI BOLD scans of subjects’ motor cortices as they per...
