ENCODE data

September 2012 will be remembered for a huge release of genome annotation data from ENCODE. Despite being so massive, there are still many gaps remaining.

What are these data for GenomeRunner? They'll add enormously to the power of GenomeRunner to find yet unknown associations of experimental genome-wide data with (epi)genomic elements. The work is under way to incorporate these data into GenomeRunner database without overwhelming the user. It may take some time for me, as ENCODE project release was created over >3 years by 442 authors, again, massive data. Check some facts about it here.

In a mean time, a web-version of GenomeRunner slowly shaping up.
