- BiologyNature
- 18 October 2007
The Phase II HapMap is described, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25–35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed, and increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs is demonstrated.
The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel

- BiologyNature
- 8 February 2012
The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel is described, a community resource for analysis of population genomics and quantitative traits, which reveals reduced polymorphism in centromeric autosomal regions and the X chromosomes, evidence for positive and negative selection, and rapid evolution of the X chromosome.

- 17 May 2012
The Human Microbiome Project has analysed the largest cohort and set of distinct, clinically relevant body habitats so far, finding the diversity and abundance of each habitat’s signature microbes to vary widely even among healthy subjects, with strong niche specialization both within and among individuals.
Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project
- E. Birney, J. Stamatoyannopoulos, P. D. de Jong
- BiologyNature
- 14 June 2007
Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.
Integrating common and rare genetic variation in diverse human populations

- BiologyNature
- 2 September 2010
An expanded public resource of genome variants in global populations supports deeper interrogation of genomic variation and its role in human disease, and serves as a step towards a high-resolution map of the landscape of human genetic variation.
Integrated Genomic Analyses of Ovarian Carcinoma

- BiologyNature
- 1 June 2011
It is reported that high-grade serous ovarian cancer is characterized by TP53 mutations in almost all tumours (96%); low prevalence but statistically recurrent somatic mutations in nine further genes including NF1, BRCA1,BRCA2, RB1 and CDK12; 113 significant focal DNA copy number aberrations; and promoter methylation events involving 168 genes.
An integrated map of structural variation in 2,504 human genomes
- P. Sudmant, T. Rausch, J. Korbel
- BiologyNature
- 30 September 2015
An integrated set of eight structural variant classes comprising both balanced and unbalanced variants, which are constructed using short-read DNA sequencing data and statistically phased onto haplotype blocks in 26 human populations are described.
Somatic mutations affect key pathways in lung adenocarcinoma
Somatic mutations in primary lung adenocarcinoma for several tumour suppressor genes involved in other cancers and for sequence changes in PTPRD as well as the frequently deleted gene LRP1B are found.
