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: Evidence that three-quarters of the human genome is capable of being transcribed is reported, as well as observations about the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates, regulatory regions and modifications of almost all currently annotated and thousands of previously unannotated RNAs that prompt a redefinition of the concept of a gene.

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: The ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project is organized as an international consortium of computational and laboratory-based scientists working to develop and apply high-throughput approaches for detecting all sequence elements that confer biological function.
