13 Jun 2007 at 12:00am While the concept of a gene has been helpful in defining the relationship of a portion of a genome to a phenotype, this traditional term may not be as useful as it once was. Currently, "gene" has come to refer principally to a genomic region producing a polyadenylated mRNA that encodes a protein. However, the recent emergence of a large collection of unannotated transcripts with apparently little protein coding capacity, collectively called transcripts of unknown function (TUFs), has begun to blur the physical boundaries and genomic organization of genic regions with noncoding transcripts often overlapping protein-coding genes on the same (sense) and opposite strand (antisense). Moreover, they are often located in intergenic regions, making the genic portions of the human genome an interleaved network of both annotated polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated transcripts, including splice variants with novel 5' ends extending hundreds of kilobases. This complex transcriptional organization and other recently observed features of genomes argue for the reconsideration of the term "gene" and suggests that transcripts may be used to define the operational unit of a genome.

2 Jul 2007 at 12:00am Although the number of protein-encoding human genes is more limited than many had estimated, the human transcript repertoire is much more diverse than anticipated. In part, transcript diversity is generated through the use of alternative promoters and alternate splicing. In addition, based on discoveries using technologies such as full-length cDNA libraries and whole genome tiling microarrays, it is now likely that non-protein-encoding transcripts comprise a substantial fraction of the human RNA population. Much attention is currently focused on understanding the role of alternative promoters in generating transcript diversity, both for non-protein-encoding (ncRNAs) and protein-encoding RNAs.

13 Jun 2007 at 12:00am While sequencing of the human genome surprised us with how many protein-coding genes there are, it did not fundamentally change our perspective on what a gene is. In contrast, the complex patterns of dispersed regulation and pervasive transcription uncovered by the ENCODE project, together with non-genic conservation and the abundance of noncoding RNA genes, have challenged the notion of the gene. To illustrate this, we review the evolution of operational definitions of a gene over the past century—from the abstract elements of heredity of Mendel and Morgan to the present-day ORFs enumerated in the sequence databanks. We then summarize the current ENCODE findings and provide a computational metaphor for the complexity. Finally, we propose a tentative update to the definition of a gene: A gene is a union of genomic sequences encoding a coherent set of potentially overlapping functional products. Our definition sidesteps the complexities of regulation and transcription by removing the former altogether from the definition and arguing that final, functional gene products (rather than intermediate transcripts) should be used to group together entities associated with a single gene. It also manifests how integral the concept of biological function is in defining genes.

What would it be like to stand atop the tallest mountain on Earth? To see a full panoramic vista from there, scroll right. Visible are snow peaked mountains, tremendous cliffs, distant plateaus, the tops of clouds, and a dark blue sky. Mt. Everest stands 8.85 kilometers above sea level. Locals call it "Sagarmatha" meaning "forehead of the sky".

"Once in a great while the water at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is still enough to create a surface that mirrors Mount Moran magically......and I was lucky enough to be there when that magic moment happened last weekend.
