NCBI DCODE.org Comparative Genomics Developments :: About us

The NCBI DCODE.org Comparative Genomics Developments (https://www.dcode.org/) was established in 2003 as a collection of web-based tools for studying gene regulatory encryption in vertebrate genomes. The main goal of the NCBI DCODE.org Comparative Genomics Developments is to provide biologists and bioinformaticians with centralized access to intuitive and reliable applications for comparative sequence analysis, facilitating the understanding of gene regulatory mechanisms and networks across vertebrate genomes. CURRENT PARTICIPANTS: The resource is currently supported by Ivan Ovcharenko's research group at NCBI.
