Description

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and modENCODE Projects have, since their inception, cataloged a significant fraction of the functional elements in the human and well-studied model organism genomes, respectively. These catalogs are increasingly being used by the research community to expand on basic biological knowledge and to interpret the results of disease-mapping studies. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications from researchers outside of the umbrella of the ENCODE Projects to support analysis activities on the ENCODE data. These activities might include developing new methods to improve on analysis and interpretation of ENCODE data, combining ENCODE data with related functional genomic data from other projects to derive new biological insights, or using the ENCODE data to improve on the analysis of disease mapping studies to identify causal variants.
