The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE)

Organisational Member

The ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) Consortium is an international collaboration of research groups funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The goal of ENCODE is to build a comprehensive parts list of functional elements in the human genome, including elements that act at the protein and RNA levels, and regulatory elements that control cells and circumstances in which a gene is active. The Consortium is dedicated to provide standards and the highest quality data sets and data processing pipelines to facilitate the exploration of genomics and epigenomics research.
