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 preceding 2 months. 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 December 2006 and January 2007 are reviewed here.

The (post)-genomics era in biology has often been marked by unexpected discoveries driven by new technologies. This phenomenon is exemplified by the cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) technique. Recent results of CAGE surveys on the human and mouse genomes have the potential to fundamentally alter our understanding of
