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/mouse/mm39/tadsDixon.html src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/mouse/mm39/tadsDixon.html deleted file mode 100644 index 3729283c09f..00000000000 --- src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/mouse/mm39/tadsDixon.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ -

Description

-

-This composite shows the original mouse topologically associating domain (TAD) calls -from Dixon et al. 2012, the study that defined TADs. Two cell types are shown: mouse -embryonic stem cells (mESC) and mouse cortex. TADs are self-interacting genomic regions -whose boundaries (frequently bound by CTCF and cohesin) insulate neighboring regions and -constrain enhancer-promoter contacts. -

-

-The calls were made on mm9 and are displayed here lifted to this assembly (see Methods). -

- -

Display Conventions and Configuration

-

-Each domain is drawn as a box spanning a self-interacting region. The two cell types are -separate subtracks. Domains were called on 40 kb-binned Hi-C data, so domain edges are -uncertain to roughly the bin size; domains do not tile the genome end to end. -

- -

Methods

-

-TAD domains were called by Dixon et al. 2012 with the directionality-index hidden Markov -model at 40 kb resolution (the published "Combined" replicate call set: 2,200 mESC -and 1,518 cortex domains, mm9). UCSC lifted the mm9 coordinates to this assembly with -liftOver (a small percentage of domains that did not map cleanly were dropped) and -reformatted them to bigBed; no re-calling was performed. -

- -

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. -
