This page contains sequence and annotation data downloads for the ENCODE project. Table downloads are also available from selected human assembly directories (hg*) on the Genome Browser FTP server.

To view the current descriptions and formats of the tables in the annotation database, use the "describe table schema" button in the Table Browser.

All of the tables in the Genome Browser are freely usable for any purpose except as indicated in the README.txt files in the download directories. To view restrictions specific to a particular assembly, click on the corresponding download link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. This data was contributed by many researchers, as listed on the Genome Browser credits page. Please acknowledge the contributor(s) of the data you use.

Note that specific restrictions on the use of the ENCODE data are in place, and can be accessed here.
