Individual tracks within the set show + enrichment of histone modifications suggestive of enhancer and promoter + activity, DNAse clusters indicating open chromatin, regions of + transcription factor binding, and transcription levels. When viewed in + combination, the complementary nature of the data within these tracks + has the potential to greatly facilitate our understanding of regulatory + DNA. </P> - We have released a Genome Browser for the latest assembly of Cat (<em>Felis catus</em>). - The GTB V17E assembly (December 2008, UCSC version felCat4) was produced by the NHGRI - Genome Technology Branch and NIH Intramural Sequencing Center, Maryland; Agencourt - Bioscience Corporation, Massachusetts; NCI Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, Maryland; - and Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc, Kansas. The mitochondrial genome was sequenced by NCI - Laboratory of Genomic Diversity.

Each of the cell lines in a track + is associated with a particular color. Light, saturated colors are used + to produce the best transparent overlay. + </P> + <P><TABLE ALIGN = CENTER><TR><TD ALIGN = CENTER > + <A HREF="http://tiny.cc/aqtyt"><img src="/images/encodeRegShot.gif" + alt="ENCODE Regulatory track screenshot" ALIGN=CENTER></A></TD></TABLE> + </P> + <P> + The data in the ENCODE Regulation super-track, as with all data from the + production phase of the ENCODE project, have genome-wide coverage.
