Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project

Ewan Birney, +320 more
- 14 Jun 2007 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capturing Chromosome Conformation

TL;DR: Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this work could confirm known qualitative features of chromosome organization within the nucleus and dynamic changes in that organization during meiosis and found that chromatin is highly flexible throughout.

An integrated encyclopedia of DNA elements in the human genome

Ian Dunham, +442 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The accessible chromatin landscape of the human genome

TL;DR: The first extensive map of human DHSs identified through genome-wide profiling in 125 diverse cell and tissue types is presented, revealing novel relationships between chromatin accessibility, transcription, DNA methylation and regulatory factor occupancy patterns.
