  • This overview of the ENCODE project outlines the data accumulated so far, revealing that 80% of the human genome now has at least one biochemical function assigned to it; the newly identified functional elements should aid the interpretation of results of genome-wide association studies, as many correspond to sites of association with human disease.

  • A description is given of the ENCODE effort to provide a complete catalogue of primary and processed RNAs found either in specific subcellular compartments or throughout the cell, revealing that three-quarters of the human genome can be transcribed, and providing a wealth of information on the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates and modifications of known and previously unannotated RNAs.

  • Mammalian genomes are scattered with repetitive sequences, but their biology remains largely elusive. Here, the authors show that transcription can initiate from short tandem repetitive sequences, and that genetic variants linked to human diseases are preferentially found at repeats with high transcription initiation level.

  • Long non-coding RNAs are increasingly recognised to be important factors in regulating cellular processes and comprise a large faction of the transcriptome, however most are uncharacterised. Here the authors present RACE-Seq, a tool to improve and extend the annotation of low-expression transcripts.

  • The analysis of mammalian transcriptomes could provide new insights into human biology. Here the authors carry out RNA sequencing in a large collection of mouse tissues and compare these data to human transcriptome profiles, identifying a set of constrained genes that carry out basic cellular functions with remarkably constant expression levels across tissues and species.

  • The Mouse ENCODE Consortium has mapped transcription, DNase I hypersensitivity, transcription factor binding, chromatin modifications and replication domains throughout the mouse genome in diverse cell and tissue types; these data were compared with those from human to confirm substantial conservation in the newly annotated potential functional sequences and to reveal pronounced divergence of other sequences involved in transcriptional regulation, chromatin state and higher order chromatin organization.

  • Uniform processing and detailed annotation of human, worm and fly RNA-sequencing data reveal ancient, conserved features of the transcriptome, shared co-expression modules (many enriched in developmental genes), matched expression patterns across development and similar extent of non-canonical, non-coding transcription; furthermore, the data are used to create a single, universal model to predict gene-expression levels for all three organisms from chromatin features at the promoter.

  • The next step after sequencing a genome is to figure out how the cell actually uses it as an instruction manual. A large international consortium has examined 1% of the genome for what part is transcribed, where proteins are bound, what the chromatin structure looks like, and how the sequence compares to that of other organisms.

  • Sequencing a person's genome may reveal large DNA insertions and other structural rearrangements, but assessing their effects requires pinpointing them to nucleotide resolution. Lam et al. use a library of previously discovered rearrangements to map and analyze genetic variation.
