The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) model organism ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (modENCODE) Project will try to identify all of the sequence-based functional elements in the Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster genomes.

The project is described in Nature 2009 Jun 18;459(7249):927-30. Unlocking the Secrets of the Genome. Please use this reference to cite the project.

modENCODE is run as a Research Network and data is publicly available, with some restrictions on its use for 9 months following publication (see our Publication Policy ).
