Want to understand what this ENCODE thing is all about? Watch this amazing animated movie very elegantly explaining the basics of what makes this project so exciting and what the implications are on a level that even non scientist understand! Brilliantly done +Nature Publishing Group! 

Genomes Certainly Are Tricky!

Thanks +Benedetta Frida Baldi for this great find!

The Story of You: ENCODE and the human genome
Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we’ve been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structur…

There is it is, the term "Junk DNA" can now finally go in the bin as the ENCODE project clearly identifies that almost all the genome locations that are non-coding are active on the regulatory level. This massive amount of data (published not only in the main paper but also in several accompany papers and a ENCODE app!) increase our knowledge of the Human genome and molecular mechanisms in general. 

Exciting to work in the lab of the main leading PI of this project and to see so many familiar names on all these papers. Congrats to all!

With the massive amount of papers and vast amount of data in the pipeline for the Human Encode project you would almost forget that the same principle (try to apply all molecular assays onto all kind of cell types) is being applied to other species like in Mouse ECODE project. As mouse is one of the laboratories work horses this kind of projects are essential for the advancements in like drug development or in general a better understanding of molecular biology. Will be great to see over the next couple of years how this project is evolving and how much of the results are comparable with the Human.
