Data navigation on the ENCODE portal

Understand

Spanning two decades, the Encyclopaedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is a collaborative research project that aims to identify all the functional elements in the human and mouse genomes.

• To best serve the scientific community, all data generated by the consortium is shared through a web-portal (https://www.encodeproject.org/) with no access restrictions.
• The fourth and final phase of the project added a diverse set of new samples (including those associated with human disease), and a wide range of new assays aimed at detection, characterization and validation of functional genomic elements.
• The ENCODE data portal hosts results from over 23,000 functional genomics experiments, over 800 functional elements characterization experiments (including in vivo transgenic enhancer assays, reporter assays and CRISPR screens) along with over 60,000 results of computational and integrative analyses (including imputations, predictions and genome annotations).
