Journal ArticleDOI

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

Distinct and predictive chromatin signatures of transcriptional promoters and enhancers in the human genome.

TL;DR: Insight is given into the connections between chromatin modifications and transcriptional regulatory activity and a novel functional enhancer for the carnitine transporter SLC22A5 (OCTN2) is uncovered, providing a new tool for the functional annotation of the human genome.

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 ENCODE (ENCyclopedia of DNA elements) Project

Elise A. Feingold, +196 more
- 22 Oct 2004 - 
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.
