An NHGRI-organized international research consortium describes its strategy for building a "parts list" of all functional elements in human DNA; announces new grants to aid in the effort.

ENCODE stands for Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, and it is a multi-institutional consortium dedicated to finding out what our DNA is up to.

The ENCODE project was established as a community resource project, and provided early access as soon as the data was shown to be reproducible, according to the consortium Data Release and Usage ...

When The ENCODE Project was launched, a subgroup of the project called The GENCODE Consortium was established to accurately map and annotate these complex features across the human genome, by both ...

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.

University of Guelph biologist T. Ryan Gregory points to this open-access critique of the ENCODE Consortium and its much hyped claims to finding that 80% of the human genome is functional. Gregory ...

Comprised of more than 30 participating institutions, including the Broad Institute, the ENCODE Project Consortium has helped to ascribe potential biochemical function to a large fraction of the ...

The research effort is part of a 20-year-long project known as the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, or ENCODE, Consortium. It is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute and includes over ...

The ENCODE consortium’s major findings include the discovery that the majority of DNA in the human genome is transcribed into functional molecules, called RNA, and that these transcripts extensively ...

The first comprehensive decoding and annotation of the human genome is being published today by the ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, an international consortium of scientists from 32 ...

Apart from making the results from ENCODE consortium experiments available to all, the reagents, methods and data processing pipelines employed in ENCODE experiments will also be validated and ...
