About the Human genome

Assembly

This release is based on the NCBI 35 assembly of the human genome [June 2004].

• Status history of the human assemblies.

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

• Nature 431, 931 - 945 (21 October 2004)
• WT Sanger Institute Press Release

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.

• More information about the CCDS project.

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