Genome Biol 2002, 3:RESEARCH0029. This paper is a must for anyone working on the structures of plant genes. Beside a good technical overview of problems in aligning cDNA and genomic sequences, the authors provide a discussion of the anomalies that have been observed in the cDNA data. For example, alternative transcription start or potyadenylation sites may play a larger role in plants than previously assumed.

A short update on finding eukaryotic genes that tackles an old source of inaccuracy in gene prediction, the consideration of only translated exons, and brings the attention they deserve to first exons. Although Brent is optimistic about computational approaches, a reply by MQ Zhang calls for large-scale experimental data.

Gene Ontology is a tool for functional annotation that has the potential to integrate annotations from different projects and genomes. If functional annotation on a large scale is to remain tractable, standardization is necessary. Although the complexity of GO may be overwhelming, the basic concepts are clearly laid down in this paper.

In this systematic study, the authors uncover a family of small RNAs, which they called miRNAs, from Arabidopsis. These RNAs are difficult to detect and may be much more abundant than suspected to date. The authors gather hints as to their role, opening up glimpses of a powerful regulatory system.
