NCBI recently announced a new release of functional regulatory elements. NCBI is now providing RefSeq and Gene records for non-genic functional elements that have been described in the literature and are experimentally validated. Elements in scope include experimentally-verified gene regulatory regions (e.g., enhancers, silencers, locus control regions), known structural elements (e.g., insulators, DNase I hypersensitive sites, matrix/scaffold-associated regions), well-characterized DNA replication origins, and clinically-significant sites of DNA recombination and genomic instability. Priority is given to genomic regions that are implicated in human disease or are otherwise of significant interest to the research community. Currently, the scope of this project is restricted to human and mouse. The current scope does not include functional elements predicted from large-scale epigenomic mapping studies, nor elements based on disease-associated variation.
Functional elements are colored by Sequence Ontology (SO) term using the same scheme as NCBI's Genome Data Viewer:
NCBI manually curated features in accordance with International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) standards. Features that are supported by direct experimental evidence include at least one experiment qualifier with an evidence code (ECO ID) from the Evidence and Conclusion Ontology, and at least one citation from PubMed. Currently 971 distinct PubMed citations are included in this track.
This track was made with assistance from Terence Murphy at NCBI.
++The raw data can be explored interactively with the Table Browser, or the Data Integrator. For automated analysis, the data may be +queried from our REST API, +and the genome annotations are stored in files that can be downloaded from our +download server, with more information available on +our blog.
+Several new enhancements to the RefSeq Functional Elements dataset are available as a Public Hub. The hub can be found on the Public Hub page. The track hub was prepared by Dr. Catherine M. Farrell, NCBI/NLM/NIH with further insights discussed in a related NCBI blog post.
