What is ENCODE?

ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) is a research project launched by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Its goal is to identify all functional elements in the human and mouse genomes. It uses a combination of experimental and computational approaches to map regions of transcription, transcription factor association, chromatin structure and histone modification.
