Venturing beyond the genes: New RefSeq Functional Elements publication!
If you’re curious about genome annotation beyond the genes, then read on! We previously blogged about our RefSeq Functional Elements resource, which provides annotation of experimentally validated, non-genic functional elements in human and mouse. Now, to kick off 2022, we’re delighted to announce a new publication in the January issue of Genome Research: Farrell CM, … Continue reading Venturing beyond the genes: New RefSeq Functional Elements publication!
