title: Expanding the Scope of ENCODE.
abstract: The National Human Genome Research Institute has earmarked up to $38 million in grant funding for five new initiatives aimed at expanding ENCODE, its database of functional elements in human and mouse genomes. For the first time, grantees will focus on diseased tissue samples in an effort to understand how these functional elements influence the development of cancer and other diseases.
