DNA序列元件研究計(jì)劃(DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project)目的在發(fā)現(xiàn)人類30億個堿基中哪些是有功能性的元件,，目的進(jìn)一步了解人類基因組的功能。

The ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project aims to identify all functional elements in the human genome sequence. The pilot phase of the Project is focused on a specified 30 megabases (1%) of the human genome sequence and is organized as an international consortium of computational and laboratory-based scientists working to develop and apply high-throughput approaches for detecting all sequence elements that confer biological function. The results of this pilot phase will guide future efforts to analyze the entire human genome.
