Description

This track displays maps of chromatin state generated by the Broad/MGH ENCODE group using ChIP-seq. Chemical modifications (methylation, acylation) to the histone proteins present in chromatin influence gene expression by changing how accessible the chromatin is to transcription.

The ChIP-seq method involves cross-linking histones and other DNA associated proteins to genomic DNA within cells using formaldehyde. The cross-linked chromatin is subsequently extracted, mechanically sheared, and immunoprecipitated using specific antibodies. After reversal of cross-links, the immunoprecipitated DNA is sequenced and mapped to the human reference genome. The relative enrichment of each antibody-target (epitope) across the genome is inferred from the density of mapped fragments.

Display Conventions and Configuration

This track is a multi-view composite track that contains multiple data types (views). For each view, there are multiple subtracks that display individually on the browser. Instructions for configuring multi-view tracks are here. ENCODE tracks typically contain one or more of the following views:

Peaks
Regions of signal enrichment based on processed data (usually normalized data from pooled replicates). ENCODE Peaks tables contain fields for statistical significance. Peaks for this track include a signalValue and pValue. The signalValue represents the fold enrichment of reads across the length of the interval, relative to random expectation. The pValue reflects the likelihood of observing an interval of the given length and signalValue at random. A long interval with a moderate signalValue and a short interval with a high signalValue can therefore have the same pValue.
Signal
Density graph (wiggle) of signal enrichment based on processed data.
Additional data that were used to generate these tracks are located in the ENCODE Mappability track:
Alignability
The Broad alignability track displays whether a region is made up of mostly unique or mostly non-unique sequence.

Methods

Cells were grown according to the approved ENCODE cell culture protocols.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with each of the histone antibodies listed above. Isolated DNA was then end-repaired, adapter-ligated and sequenced using Illumina Genome Analyzers.

Sequence reads from each IP experiment were aligned to the human reference genome (hg18) using MAQ. Discrete intervals of ChIP-seq fragment enrichment were identified using a scan statistics approach, assuming a uniform background signal.

More details of the experimental protocol and analysis are available here.

Release Notes

Release 3 (Mar 2010) of this track adds the HSMM cell line and includes new experiments for H1-hESC and NHLF. No previously released data has been replaced in this release. Update to Release 3 (Jun 2010) of this track consists of a display change to the Signal subtracks. This update provides a better display of the data when zoomed in to a range spanning less than 16,500 base pairs.

Release 2 did contain newer versions of previously released data, however. All versioned data are marked with "submittedDataVersion=V2" in the metadata, along with the reason for the change. Previous versions of these files are available for download from the FTP site.

Please note that an antibody previously labeled "Pol2 (b)" is, in fact, Covance antibody MMS-128P with the target POLR2A.

Data Release Policy

Data users may freely use ENCODE data, but may not, without prior consent, submit publications that use an unpublished ENCODE dataset until nine months following the release of the dataset. This date is listed in the Restricted Until column on the track configuration page and the download page. The full data release policy for ENCODE is available here.
