Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome
@article{Consortium2004FinishingTE, title={Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome}, author={International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium}, journal={Nature}, year={2004}, volume={431}, pages={931-945} }
The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome…

It is demonstrated that limited sequencing of BACs combined with positioning on a well assembled genome and integrating locations from other less well assembled genomes can yield extensive, detailed subgene-level maps of mammalian genomes, for which genomic resources are currently limited.
The DNA sequence and biological annotation of human chromosome 1
