Description
This container comprises various DNA Methylation tracks from different sources.
Click on the specific subtracks for detailed descriptions of the data.
The two tracks available are:
- Human Methylation Atlas Summary (hg38/hg19) - Contains cell-type-specific marker regions
- identified from the atlas, including uniquely unmethylated loci and putative enhancer
- regions annotated with regulatory features.
- - Human Methylation Atlas Signals (hg38/hg19) - Contains per-cell-type methylation signal
- tracks (bigWig format) showing methylation beta values (0-1 scale) across the genome,
- with merged tracks for each cell type and individual sample replicates.
+ identified from the atlas, including all unmethylated regions, putative
+ enhancers derived from unmethylated regions, and the top 250 most specifically
+ unmethylated regions per cell type.
