A multi-institution research network called modENCODE (the Model Organism ENCylopedia Of DNA Elements) published three major papers in Nature that map and compare the genomes and epigenomes of humans and two model organisms, the fly and the worm, in unprecedented detail. The fly and worm could serve as models for screening drugs and micronutrients that might alter the epigenome, which is implicated in many diseases.
