ENCODE March 2018 Data Release
07/04/2018
134 datasets in total were released this March on the ENCODE portal. The organisms range from Drosophila, to C. elegans, mouse, and human; the assays are limited to whole-genome shotgun bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and ChIP-seq.
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.
