Briefings in Bioinformatics aims to provide working biologists with an awareness and understanding of the computational approaches available for research and discovery. The Abstracts section of the journal consists of summaries of bioinformatics manuscripts published in the previous quarter. Inclusion of an article in this section indicates that the editors consider it to be among the most interesting and/or useful contributions to the field for the quarter covered. The contents of these reports are briefly distilled for the readers with an emphasis placed on their biological context and potential utility. Publications from the first quarter of 2006 (January–March) are reviewed here.
Genome-wide identification of human functional DNA using a neutral indel model
Gerton Lunter, Chris P. Ponting and Jotun Hein PLoS Computational Biology (2006) Vol. 2, no. 1, p. e5
The vast majority of human genomic sequence is not protein coding, and putative functional roles for almost all of this sequence have yet to be discovered. In light of this knowledge gap, there is a sustained effort underway to develop computational approaches to aid in functional predictions for non-coding
