About the Human genome

Assembly

This release is based on the NCBI 36 assembly of the human genome [November 2005].

The International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium have published their scientific analysis of the finished human genome.

Annotation

The human genome sequence is now considered sufficiently stable that the three major genome browsers have come together to produce a common set of gene IDs for their annotations. This Consensus CDS ID set has been encorporated into the Ensembl database alongside the existing identifiers.

The ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project aims to find functional elements in the human genome.
