A collection of research articles and related content describing the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, its datasets and tools. How cells, tissues and organisms interpret the information encoded in the ...

Back in 2001, the Human Genome Project gave us a nigh-complete readout of our DNA. Somehow, those As, Gs, Cs, and Ts contained the full instructions for making one of us, but they were hardly a simple ...

ENCODE, the $185-million successor to the Human Genome Project, promises to reveal new details about our DNA. But controversy persists as geneticists remain at odds over one little f-word—"function" ...

The Human Genome Project produced an almost complete order of the 3 billion pairs of chemical letters in the DNA that embodies the human genetic code -- but little about the way this blueprint works.

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project is a worldwide effort to understand how the human genome functions. With the completion of its latest phase, the ENCODE Project has added millions of ...

What is ENCODE? “ENCODE is vast,” writes science writer Ed Yong towards the end of this massively comprehensive (albeit characteristically lucid) introduction to this ambitious international genome ...

How cells, tissues and organisms interpret the information encoded in the genome has vital implications for our understanding of development, health and disease. Launched in 2003, the ENCyclopedia Of ...
