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.
In December 2010, the modENCODE consortium published integrative analysis papers on its data, and summary pages of the data presented in those papers are available for both fly and worm.

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 ).
