ENCODE floods the news networks…
My social media is abuzz with ENCODE publications and chatter right now. Some of the things I’d recommend (besides the huge collection of papers and Nature site, of course) or that made me laugh:

[I'm going to keep this as an ongoing repository of items I'm seeing. May be edited frequently over the next week or so.]
