Earlier projects


FANTOM3
FANTOM consortium utilized a new technology, CAGE, to reveal that more than 63% of the genome — instead of the known ~1.5% fraction of protein coding exons — is transcribed as RNA. We also confirmed the existence of over 23,000 non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and that >73% of the transcriptional units show sense-antisense transcription. This work was published in a couple of papers in the “RNA special issue” of Science in 2005 (Carninci et al. 2005; Katayama et al. 2005)


FANTOM2
During the second phase of the FANTOM activities, we determined the base sequences and assigned functional annotations to a set of 60,770 full-length mouse cDNAs. This was the first project worldwide to standardize full-length mammalian cDNAs. The research was published in a special issue of Nature on the decoding of the mouse genome in 2002 (Okazaki et al. 2002)



FANTOM1
The consortium developed an effective system for functional gene annotation by designing appropriate rules and methods. The result was mainly published in Nature in 2001(Kawai et al. 2001). The paper was followed by the draft sequence of human genome (Lander et al. 2001) week later because they used our cDNA for gene number prediction.
