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.

First they sequenced it. Now they have surveyed its hinterlands. But no one knows how much more information the human genome holds, or when to stop looking for it. The alternative text for this image ...

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 ...
