Next webinar held by Data Coordination Center for modENCODE is scheduled on Thursday Feb 2, 12:00 EST Topic: “Using modENCODE tools: GBrowse and modMINE”. This webinar will discuss the web tools for data retrieval and analysis – data mining interface (modMINE) and genome browser (GBrowse), both accessible via www.modencode.org. Space is limited so advance registration is necessary. Please email help@modencode.org to reserve your spot. More details and the schedule are at http://wiki.modencode.org/project/index.php/DCC_Usability_webinars
modMine release 27
Release 27 of modMine contains all the submissions validated by the end of November 2011 (corresponding to the submission freeze of the 31st of October). Release 27 incorparates 1765 submissions, organised in 72 experiments which in turn are divided in 12 categories.
There are 1224 fly submissions (1201 D. melanogaster) and 541 concern C. elegans.

modENCODE project aims to provide the biological research community with a comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D.melanogaster. Data Coordination Center for modENCODE is conducting a series of webinars with the next one, “Understanding worm and fly chromatin modification data” scheduled on Thursday Dec 1, 12:00 EST (Eastern US time). This online webinar will introduce participants to the data obtained in experimental studies of various histone modification marks and chromatin binding proteins, also showing how to visualize and download these data from the modENCODE web site/FTP. Space is limited so advance registration is necessary. Please email help@modencode.org to reserve your spot. More details and the schedule are at http://wiki.modencode.org/project/index.php/DCC_Usability_webinars
modMine release 26
Release 26 of modMine contains all the submissions of release 25, with the addition of 3 submissions for the MacAlpine project (D. melanogaster) and 2 for the Snyder one (C. elegans).
Release 26 now contains links to orthologues (human, mouse, rat) for both worm and fly. Lists of submissions present more detailed information on the grouped submissions.
modENCODE Data Coordination Center is announcing a new series of 5 webinars
which we are planning to have in 2011/2012 using WebEx teleconference technology.
The first webinar in the series is on Thursday Nov 3, 12:00 EST (Eastern US time)
“Understanding worm and fly transcription factor binding data” (updated).
This online webinar will introduce participants to the data obtained in studies of
transcription factor binding sites in D.melanogaster and C.elegans
and describe how to visualize and download these data from the modENCODE
web site/FTP. Space is limited so advance registration is necessary.
modMine release 25
Release 25 of modMine contains all the submissions validated by the end of August 2011. There are 1664 submissions, organised in 69 experiments which in turn are divided in 12 categories.
There are 1185 submissions regarding D. melanogaster, 464 concern C. elegans, and there is also a small number of submssions for other Drosophila species:
| D. mojavensis |

| D. pseudoobscura |

New in this release.
- Ensembl Compara
The Ensembl Compara data set has been used to get homologues information.
- Easier exploration of other mines
Links to other mines (RatMine, FlyMine, metabolicMine,ZFINMine, YeastMine) are available on reposrt and list report pages and allows exploration of orthologues genes.
modMine release 24
Release 24 of modMine contains all the submissions validated by the end of June 2011. There are 1504 submissions, organised in 61 experiments which in turn are divided in 12 categories.
New in this release.
- A new way of managing users’ lists when transferring them from one release to the next one. The new system makes transparent to the user any update made necessary by the changes on elements of the list in the model organism databases (FlyBase or WormBase).
Usually there will be no changes and no action will need to be taken. However, if a user’s list needs upgrading, these simple steps need to be followed:
- log in
- go to the “My Mine” section of modMine
- check the status of your lists by visiting the “Lists” page (http://intermine.modencode.org/query/mymine.do).
- Click on the “Upgrade” links that you find in the last column of the table and resolve duplications and conflicts.
The new system allows also a much shorter downtime of modMine when the release is changed.
- Sequence features can be exported as a file or sent to Galaxy in UCSC BED format
- Data labels and column names are configurable now and not tied to the database field names.
The mailing list announce@modencode.org will receive notification of any new posting to the modENCODE blog.

The new modmine release 23.1 presents a new displayer for the expression heatmaps. The new displayer uses canvasXpress to perform clustering operations on the data.
The new release is built on the same data of release 23.
