Abstract

"The ENCODE Project (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements), funded by the NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, USA), set out to identify all transcription regions, transcription factor association, chromatin structures, and histone modifications in the human genome sequence. Thanks to the identification of these functional elements, currently 80% of the components of the human genome already have at least one biochemical function associated. On September 5, 2012, the bulk of the ENCODE results became free and accessible to everyone through the Nature ENCODE Explorer application, accessible at: http://www.nature.com/encode/

A few months ago, we asked three Biology students to write a comment on the ENCODE Project. Now, celebrating the anniversary of the launch of Nature ENCODE Explorer, Encounters in Biology publishes it."
