OVERALL - PROJECT SUMMARY The objective of the GENCODE consortium is to create a foundational reference genome annotation, in which all gene features in the human and mouse genomes are identified and classified with high accuracy based on biological evidence, and then to release these annotations for the benefit of biomedical research and genome interpretation. GENCODE aims for a better understanding of a `normal' human genome; using genome sequences of the most commonly used mouse strains will facilitate the most effective use of these key models for large-scale knockout analysis and disease-specific research. To produce regular annotation releases of high accuracy, GENCODE will continue to follow its well-established and conservative research design, supplemented by targeted investigations into the value of new technologies, new data and new sources of evidence. GENCODE focuses on protein-coding and non-coding loci, including their alternatively spliced isoforms and pseudogenes. Over the course of this proposal GENCODE will follow major directions in genomics, including graph- based genome representations, long-read transcriptome sequencing, connecting genes and the associated regulatory regions that affect their transcription, and identifying genes that are not present on the current reference assembly. The GENCODE consortium has four fundamental components: (1) a comprehensive gene annotation pipeline leveraging manual annotation; (2) an integrated approach to pseudogene identification and classification; (3) a set of computational methods to evaluate and enhance gene annotation; and (4) complementary experimental pipelines for validation and functional annotation. More specifically, in the next four years GENCODE aims to (1) extend the human and mouse GENCODE gene sets to as near completion as possible given current experimental technology; (2) deploy population-based genome annotation to ensure that any transcript isoform expressed in an individual human will be present in the reference annotation set; (3) extend the gene annotation to include core regulatory regions and tissue-specific enhancers from selected datasets; (4) to distribute GENCODE annotations and engage with community annotation efforts. Current popular distribution channels for GENCODE data including the GENCODE web site, the Ensembl and UCSC Genome Browsers, will be maintained. Finally, new mechanisms for prioritizing genes for manual annotation with community input will be established, with the long-term aim of establishing GENCODE as the standard annotation set for research and clinical genomics efforts.

总体 - 项目摘要 Gencode联盟的目的是创建基础参考基因组 注释，其中所有基因在人和小鼠基因组中的特征都被鉴定出来，并且 根据生物学证据，以高精度分类，然后释放这些 为生物医学研究和基因组解释的益处的注释。 Gencode的目标 为了更好地理解“正常”人类基因组；使用最多的基因组序列 常用的小鼠菌株将有助于最有效地使用这些关键模型 大规模敲除分析和疾病特异性研究。产生常规注释 Gencode的发行精度很高，将继续遵循其良好的公认和 保守研究设计，以针对新的价值进行针对性的研究补充 技术，新数据和新证据来源。 Gencode专注于蛋白质编码 和非编码基因座，包括其剪接的同工型和假基因。在 该提案Gencode的过程将遵循基因组学的主要方向，包括图形 基于基因组表示，长阅读转录组测序，连接基因和 影响其转录的相关调节区域，并识别不是 存在当前参考组件上。 Gencode财团有四个基本 组件：（1）综合基因注释管道利用手动注释； （2） 用于鉴定和分类的综合方法； （3）一组 评估和增强基因注释的计算方法； （4）补充 实验管道验证和功能注释。更具体地说，在接下来的四个 年Gencode年的旨在（1）将人和小鼠Gencode基因设置扩展到附近 鉴于当前的实验技术，尽可能完成； （2）部署基于人群的 基因组注释，以确保在人类意愿中表达的任何转录本同工型 存在于参考注释集中； （3）将基因注释扩展到包括核心 来自选定数据集的调节区域和组织特异性增强子； （4）分发 Gencode注释并参与社区注释工作。当前流行 Gencode数据的分发渠道，包括Gencode网站，Ensembl和 UCSC基因组浏览器将得到维护。最后，用于优先基因的新机制 将建立与社区意见的手动注释，以长期的目标 建立Gencode作为研究和临床基因组学的标准注释集 努力。
