modENCODE

The modENCODE project was initiated to study the genomes of D. melanogaster and C. elegans and systematically annotate functional genomic elements of these organisms. The most significant findings of modENCODE were published in 2010 in the following integrative analysis papers:

• Gerstein MB, Lu ZJ, Van Nostrand EL, et al. Integrative analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome by the modENCODE project [published correction appears in Science. 2011 Jan 7;331(6013):30]. Science. 2010;330(6012):1775-1787. doi:10.1126/science.1196914 (PMID:21177976)
• modENCODE Consortium, Roy S, Ernst J, et al. Identification of functional elements and regulatory circuits by Drosophila modENCODE. Science. 2010;330(6012):1787-1797. doi:10.1126/science.1198374 (PMID:21177974)

As of 2023, support to maintain the www.modencode.org and intermine.modencode.org sites have been retired following the end of funding. To access data from the modENCODE project, or for questions regarding the data they make available, please visit these databases:

• Fly data:
  • FlyBase: ModENCODE data at FlyBase
  • FlyBase
• Worm data: WormBase

Data, including modENCODE and modERN project data, is also available at the ENCODE Portal: search metadata and view datasets for Drosophila and Caenorhabditis.
