The End of the Beginning
Abstract
The sequencing of the complete genome of the fruit fly Drosophila ( Adams et al ., Myers et al ., Rubin et al .) is a remarkable feat that tells us much about the organization of the genomes of complex creatures. In a Perspective, Brenner looks to the future, to the next big step forward, which will be deciphering what the protein product of each gene does and how each gene is switched on and off.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
