The ENCODE project has enabled scientists to assign specific functions for 80 percent of the human genome, providing new insights into the mechanisms of gene regulation and giving biomedical researchers a solid genetic foundation for understanding how the body works in health and disease. The project's data coordination center at UCSC has made all of the ENCODE data available for public use through the UCSC Genome Browser.
