The most widely appreciated role of DNA is to encode protein, yet the exact portion of the human genome that is translated remains to be ascertained.

Permanent Draft Genome Sequences for Two Variants of Frankia sp. Strain CpI1, the First Frankia Strain Isolated from Root Nodules of Comptonia peregrina [PDF]
Frankia stains CpI1-S and CpI1-P are members of Frankia lineage Ia that are able to reinfect plants of the Betulaceae and Myricaceae families. Here, we report two 7.6-Mbp draft genome sequences with 6,396 and 6,373 candidate protein-coding genes for CpI1-

Regulation of expression of human RNA polymerase II-transcribed snRNA genes [PDF]
In addition to protein-coding genes, RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcribes numerous genes for non-coding RNAs, including the small-nuclear (sn)RNA genes.

Backmasking in the yeast genome: encoding overlapping information for protein-coding and RNA degradation [PDF]
Backmasking is a recording technique used to hide a sound or message in a music track in reverse, meaning that it is only audible when the record is played backwards.

Significance The 5′ end of a eukaryotic messenger RNA generally contains an 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap, which has an essential role in regulating gene expression.

Massive gene amplification on a recently formed Drosophila Y chromosome. [PDF]
Widespread loss of genes on the Y is considered a hallmark of sex chromosome differentiation. Here we show that the initial stages of Y evolution are driven by massive amplification of distinct classes of genes. The neo-Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda

Draft Genome Sequence of the Yeast Rhodotorula sp. Strain CCFEE 5036, Isolated from McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. [PDF]
A draft genome sequence was assembled and annotated of the basidiomycetous yeast Rhodotorula sp. strain CCFEE 5036, isolated from Antarctic soil communities. The genome assembly is 19.07 megabases and encodes 6,434 protein-coding genes. The sequence will

Efficient labeling and imaging of protein-coding genes in living cells using CRISPR-Tag
The lack of efficient tools to image non-repetitive genes in living cells has limited our ability to explore the functional impact of the spatiotemporal dynamics of such genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of Photorhabdus temperata Strain Meg1, an Entomopathogenic Bacterium Isolated from Heterorhabditis megidis Nematodes [PDF]
Photorhabdus temperata strain Meg1 is an entomopathogenic bacterium that forms a symbiotic association with Heterorhabditis nematodes. We report here a 4.9-Mbp draft genome sequence for P.

Non-coding transcript variants of protein-coding genes – what are they good for?
The total number of protein-coding genes in the human genome is not significantly higher than those in much simpler eukaryotes, despite a general increase in genome size proportionate to the organismal complexity.
