Advances in DNA-sequencing technology provide unprecedented insight into the entire collection of four genomes' transcribed sequences. They herald a new era in the study of gene regulation and genome function.

Genomes are the blueprints of life: they contain all the information necessary to build and operate their hosts. But we still have much to learn about the language of DNA to interpret the billions of Gs, As, Ts and Cs, the DNA bases that spell out life.
