ENCODE Get Chromatin State
Search ENCODE chromatin state annotations (ChromHMM segmentations) for specific biosamples or tissues. Chromatin states are genome-wide annotations that classify each genomic position into a functional state (e.g., active TSS, flanking active TSS, strong transcription, weak transcription, genic enhancers, active enhancers, bivalent enhancer, bivalent/poised TSS, flanking bivalent TSS, repressed polycomb, weak repressed polycomb, quiescent, heterochromatin) based on combinatorial patterns of his…
Overview
Search ENCODE chromatin state annotations (ChromHMM segmentations) for specific biosamples or tissues. Chromatin states are genome-wide annotations that classify each genomic position into a functional state (e.g., active TSS, flanking active TSS, strong transcription, weak transcription, genic enhancers, active enhancers, bivalent enhancer, bivalent/poised TSS, flanking bivalent TSS, repressed polycomb, weak repressed polycomb, quiescent, heterochromatin) based on combinatorial patterns of histone marks. Use this to understand the chromatin landscape of specific cell types.
