# Maintenance of ENCODE Portal, an essential resource for the IGVF Catalog

> **NIH NIH U24** · STANFORD UNIVERSITY · 2024 · $93,673

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
This application is being submitted in response to the Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) identified as
“NOT-HG-23-023”. The goal of this project is to support and maintain a critical resource for the creation
of the IGVF Catalog, the ENCODE Portal, an online resource providing all data created by the ENCODE
Consortium. The Catalog will incorporate results from IGVF experimental investigation, and
computational analyses using a wealth of information on genomic variants impact on function. The
previously created and publicly released experimental and computational results are unique data used
to discover the associations and networks between human variation, chromosomal elements, and
molecular phenotypes for the purpose of elucidating their complex relationship in human cells and
tissues. These data are critical reagents for computational biologist and the greater biomedical research
community exploring the human genome, its regulation, association with disease, and structure. The
ENCODE Portal serves as the primary data warehouse for ENCODE data and is a state-of-the-art data
warehouse, designed and developed by Stanford. We have cross-cutting and unparalleled technical
expertise in data management, genomics, informatics, network analysis, and privacy-preserving
applications as well as our roles leading large data coordination centers, managing, and coordinating
data and metadata, as well as creating gold standard knowledgebases.
