UCSC Get Encode CCREs

Overview

Get ENCODE4 candidate cis-Regulatory Elements (cCREs) for a genomic region from UCSC Genome Browser. cCREs are classified by epigenetic signatures into: Promoter-like (PLS, red), Proximal enhancer-like (pELS, orange), Distal enhancer-like (dELS, yellow), DNase-H3K4me3 (blue), CTCF-only/CTCF-bound (green). Each cCRE includes max Z-scores for DNase, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and CTCF signals across biosamples. Use this to identify regulatory elements in a region of interest for functional genomics or GWAS variant interpretation.
