A milestone was reached in June, when a project called the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) thoroughly mapped the functional regions in 1 percent of the human genome.
In September, Agilent introduced $500-$700 ChIP-on-chip microarrays and currently offers ChIP-on-chip custom arrays, yeast whole genome arrays, an ENCODE array (containing 80,000 probes corresponding to findings by the National Human Genome Research Institute's Encyclopedia of DNA Elements research consortium) and Human Promoter Microarray Sets, featuring probes covering around 17,000 human transcripts.
One of the most intriguing and potentially far-reaching of these efforts is the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, or ENCODE, project, which aspires to create a complete catalog of all the functional elements of the human genome.
