## Description

This track depicts the 10 ENCODE resequencing regions for the NHGRI ENCODE project. The long-term goal of this project is to identify all functional elements in the human genome sequence to facilitate a better understanding of human biology and disease.

These regions were chosen out of the 44 total. The resequencing was done by Broad and Baylor.

See the NHGRI target selection process web page for a description of how the target regions were selected.

To open a UCSC Genome Browser with a menu for selecting ENCODE regions on the Build 34 human genome, use ENCODE Regions in the UCSC Browser. The UCSC resources provided for the ENCODE project are described on the UCSC ENCODE Portal.
