TL;DR: Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.

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: This work discusses how ChIP quality, assessed in these ways, affects different uses of ChIP-seq data and develops a set of working standards and guidelines for ChIP experiments that are updated routinely.

TL;DR: An overview of the project and the resources it is generating and the application of ENCODE data to interpret the human genome are provided.
