Open AccessError-correcting properties of the SOLiD Exact Call Chemistry
The Exact Call Chemistry for the SOLiD Next-Generation Sequencing platform augments the two-base-encoding chemistry with an additional round of ligation, using an alternative set of probes, that allows some mi...

Open AccessAll Your Base: a fast and accurate probabilistic approach to base calling
The accuracy of base calls produced by Illumina sequencers is adversely affected by several processes, with laser cross-talk and cluster phasing being prominent. We introduce an explicit statistical model of t...

Open AccessA high-resolution map of human evolutionary constraint using 29 mammals
The comparison of related genomes has emerged as a powerful lens for genome interpretation. Here we report the sequencing and comparative analysis of 29 eutherian genomes. We confirm that at least 5.5% of the ...

Detecting the Presence and Location of Selection in Proteins
Methods to detect the action of selection on proteins can now make strong predictions about its strength and location, but are becoming increasingly technical. The complexity of the methods makes it difficult ...

Open AccessRelating tissue specialization to the differentiation of expression of singleton and duplicate mouse proteins
Gene duplications have been hypothesized to be a major factor in enabling the evolution of tissue differentiation. Analyses of the expression profiles of duplicate genes in mammalian tissues have indicated tha...

Open AccessRelationship between the tissue-specificity of mouse gene expression and the evolutionary origin and function of the proteins
The combination of complete genome sequence information with expression data enables us to characterize the relationship between a protein's evolutionary origin or functional category and its expression patter...
