The 2020 NHGRI Strategic Vision laid out a set of “bold predictions for human genomics by 2030” that included: “The biological function(s) of every human gene will be known; for non-coding elements in the human genome, such knowledge will be the rule, rather than the exception.” Systematically obtaining genome-wide information about gene functions is critical for elucidating the roles and relationships of genes and regulatory elements in pathways and networks, which is one of the compelling genomic research projects outlined in the NHGRI Strategic Vision.
