1. ENCODE

   The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is a public research project which aims to identify functional elements in the human genome. ENCODE also supports further biomedical research by "generating community resources of genomics data, software, tools and methods for genomics data analysis, and products resulting from data analyses and interpretations."The current phase of ENCODE (2016-2019) is adding depth to its resources by growing the number of cell types, data types, assays and now includes support for examination of the mouse genome.

1. encode

   To encode means to convert information or data from one format or system to another, typically for the purposes of standardization, protection, or compression. This process is often used in computer science, communication systems, and data storage to ensure that the information can be correctly interpreted and used by different software or hardware.

1. ENCODE

   The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements is a public research consortium launched by the US National Human Genome Research Institute in September 2003. The goal is to find all functional elements in the human genome, one of the most critical projects by NHGRI after it completed the successful Human Genome Project. All data generated in the course of the project will be released rapidly into public databases. On 5 September 2012, initial results of the project were released in a coordinated set of 30 papers published in the journals Nature, Genome Biology, and Genome Research. These publications combine to show that approximately 20% of noncoding DNA in the human genome is functional while an additional 60% is transcribed with no known function. Much of this functional non-coding DNA is involved in the regulation of the expression of coding genes. Furthermore the expression of each coding gene is controlled by multiple regulatory sites located both near and distant from the gene. These results demonstrate that gene regulation is far more complex than was previously believed. Genome-wide association studies have determined that approximately 90% of single-letter differences in sequences that are associated with various diseases fall outside of protein coding regions. Previously it was not clear how these sequence differences could influence disease however new gene regulatory sites discovered by the ENCODE project in many cases provide an explanation.
