A decade long, $288 million study reported this year in more than 30 papers showed the human genome to be quite a bustling place, biochemically speaking.
The work—called the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE)—builds on the Human Genome Project, which deciphered the order of the bases that are our DNA’s building blocks and found that less than 2% of those bases defined genes.
ENCODE researchers took an intensive look not just at genes but at all of the DNA in between.
Their results drive (...)
