TL;DR: The most complete human lncRNA annotation to date is presented, produced by the GENCODE consortium within the framework of the ENCODE project and comprising 9277 manually annotated genes producing 14,880 transcripts, and expression correlation analysis indicates that lncRNAs show particularly striking positive correlation with the expression of antisense coding genes.

TL;DR: The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project provides new insights into the organization and regulation of the authors' genes and genome, and is an expansive resource of functional annotations for biomedical research.

TL;DR: An unanticipated role for a class of long ncRNAs in activation of critical regulators of development and differentiation is found in human cell lines.

TL;DR: The mouse ENCODE Consortium has mapped transcription, DNase I hypersensitivity, transcription factor binding, chromatin modifications and replication domains throughout the mouse genome in diverse cell and tissue types as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: By comparing with the human genome, this work not only confirms substantial conservation in the newly annotated potential functional sequences, but also finds a large degree of divergence of sequences involved in transcriptional regulation, chromatin state and higher order chromatin organization.
