EnsemblReg Get Regulatory Elements

Overview

Get Ensembl regulatory features (enhancers, promoters, CTCF binding sites, open chromatin, TF binding sites) for a genomic region from the Ensembl Regulatory Build. The Ensembl Regulatory Build integrates epigenomic data from ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics, and BLUEPRINT to annotate regulatory elements across the human genome. Returns feature IDs, types, coordinates, and extended bounds. Use this to identify known regulatory elements in a region of interest for epigenomic analysis or variant interpretation.
