OpenHelix and the UCSC Bioinformatics group have worked together to give everyone free access to the newly updated ENCODE tutorial until the end of February 2013. The online tutorial suite teaches users how to access the ENCODE data in the UCSC Genome Browser. The online tutorial, created by OpenHelix in conjunction with the UCSC Bioinformatics [...]
Last week, dozens of papers were published by the ENCODE (ENCyclopedia of DNA Elements) project, capping a long effort of a worldwide consortia to build a comprehensive parts list of functional elements in the human genome. What can be lost in the press coverage and sometimes heated discussion of the results is the critical value [...]
