The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) 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. ENCODE data are now available for the entire human genome. All ENCODE data are free and available for immediate use via the following: a) Search for displayable tracks and downloadable files; b) Download of data files; c) Visualization in the UCSC Genome Browser (ENCODE data marked with the NHGRI logo); and d) Data mining with the UCSC Table Browser and other UCSC Genome Bioinformatics tools.
