Details

ENCODE

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is an ongoing international consortium funded by NHGRI to identify and organize functional elements in the genome, including regulatory elements, protein-binding sites, chromatin features, and RNA-level signals. The ENCODE portal serves as the main public access point for consortium experiments, processed files, metadata, standards, and integrative annotations.

Current ENCODE portal documentation emphasizes standardized assays, shared experimental guidelines, uniform analysis pipelines, and explicit quality metrics across major assay classes such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, RNA-seq, eCLIP, methylation assays, chromatin conformation assays, and single-cell methods. The public REST API exposes released ENCODE objects in JSON and supports structured programmatic search over experiments, biosamples, files, publications, and annotations.
