From the completion of the pilot phase of The ENCODE Project in 2007, it has been evident that there is much more to a gene than the just a sequence that codes for protein, changing our concept of ...

The function of most of the human genome is unknown. Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction (about 3%) of the total genome sequence; most functional genomic sequences are likely to ...

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) consortium published a set of papers in Nature and Genome Research that sum the work of more than four years of effort dedicated to understanding the ...

“When the first draft of the human genome was completed . . . it became immediately clear that while we had the primary sequence of the genome, or we had a draft of it . . . we needed to have an ...

ENCODE, an international research project led by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), has produced and analyzed 1649 data sets designed to annotate functional elements of the entire ...

Genome Research publishes a special issue dedicated to The ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) Project, whose goal is to characterize all functional elements in the human genome. From the completion ...
