ENCODE at a Glance n The Myers Lab joined ENCODE when it launched in 2003, first participating in the pilot project aimed at annotating one percent of the human genome and then joining the full genome effort in 2007.
n The lab moved to HudsonAlpha in 2008.
n The Consortium produced more than 15 terabytes of raw data.
n Through ENCODE, dozens of protocols for looking at the functionality of genetic regions were developed or adapted, several from the Myers group, including ChIP-seq, RNA sequencing, CETCH-seq, and DNA methylation.
n The Consortium discovered more than a million DNA switches and hundreds of transcription factors that bind them.
