The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Data Coordinating Center has developed the ENCODE Portal as a central resource for data and metadata generated by the ENCODE Consortium. The portal aims to provide publicly accessible experimental protocols, analytical procedures, and data through a web-based interface, while also offering curated metadata to justify data interpretation. Since its initial release in 2013, the portal has been updated to include new experiments, uniformly processed data from related projects, new visualization tools, and more comprehensive metadata. The portal now hosts over 13,000 datasets and their accompanying metadata, accessible at https://www.encodeproject.org/. Key features include an interactive user interface for data navigation, expanded summary views, metadata download in JSON format, and integration with various genome browsers for data visualization. The ENCODE Data Coordinating Center (DCC) also maintains and updates data and metadata, ensuring high integrity and usability through standardized pipelines, quality control metrics, and automated audits. Future efforts will focus on improving user experience, automating data deposition, and expanding functional element analysis.The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Data Coordinating Center has developed the ENCODE Portal as a central resource for data and metadata generated by the ENCODE Consortium.
