The ENCODE Project: ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements

http://www.genome.gov/10005107

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) launched a public research consortium named ENCODE, the Encyclopedia Of DNA Elements, in September 2003, to carry out a project to identify all functional elements in the human genome sequence.

The second RFA, RFA HG-03-004, entitled Technologies to find functional elements in DNA, solicited applications to develop new and improved technologies for the efficient, comprehensive, high-throughput identification and verification of all types of sequence-based functional elements, particularly those other than coding sequences, for which adequate methods do not currently exist.
