The aim of ENCODE project is
Human genome is sequenced, but needs to be annotated. Annotation is the process of identifying the function of each DNA element. ENCODE (Encyclopaedia of DNA elements) To provide a detailed, biochemically informative representation of the human genome using high-throughput sequencing methods to identify and catalogue the functional elements.
