Please observe the following guidelines when using ENCODE data:

• Data users may freely use ENCODE data, but may not, without prior consent, submit publications that use an unpublished ENCODE dataset until nine months following the release of the dataset (see time stamp for release date).
• Data users should properly acknowledge the ENCODE Project and resource producer(s) as the source of the data in any publication.
• See the full ENCODE-modENCODE Data Release Policy (2008-Present) document for further details, and the ENCODE-modENCODE Data Release Policy description page at NHGRI for background.
