Merged identical description pages into human/ and mouse/, plus description page cleanups (regenerated References, removed the "How to use these tracks" section, ENCODE pages now say 112 of 117 biosamples use Arrowhead). Also updated the ENCODE metadata columns and organ example in the hg38 makedoc. refs #21599 diff --git src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/human/hg38/tadsDixon.html src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/human/hg38/tadsDixon.html deleted file mode 100644 index 945097f3056..00000000000 --- src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/human/hg38/tadsDixon.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,44 +0,0 @@ -

Description

-This track shows topologically associating domains (TADs), the original -"topological domains" defined by Dixon et al. 2012, in two human -cell types: H1 human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and IMR90 fetal lung fibroblasts. A -domain is a contiguous region that preferentially interacts with itself in Hi-C data. -

Display Conventions and Configuration

-Each domain is drawn as a box. Domains were called on 40 kb-binned Hi-C data, so domain -edges are uncertain to roughly ±20 kb and all coordinates fall on a 40 kb grid. -Domains cover roughly 86–91% of the genome; they do not tile end to end, and -the gaps between boxes are Dixon's "boundary" (<400 kb) or "unorganized -chromatin" (>400 kb) regions. No per-domain confidence score is published by the -authors, so none is shown. These coordinates are not directly comparable to the other TAD -tracks, which use different callers. -

Methods

-Domains were identified with a directionality-index hidden Markov model on 40 kb Hi-C -contact matrices (Dixon et al., 2012). The published combined-replicate domain -calls (Supplementary Table S3) were obtained for hESC and IMR90, originally on assembly -hg18/NCBI36, and lifted to this assembly with the UCSC liftOver tool; a small -fraction of domains that did not map cleanly were dropped. -

Data Access

-The raw data can be explored interactively with the -Table Browser or the -Data Integrator. For programmatic access, the -track can be accessed using the Genome Browser's -REST API. -The underlying bigBed files can be downloaded from our -download server. -
