Hi Jason,
Thank you for your question about ChIP-seq data in the UCSC Genome
Browser.
For an overview of the ENCODE ChIP-seq experiments for which we have
data at UCSC, you can review the ENCODE ChIP-seq experiment matrix:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/dataMatrix/encodeChipMatrixHuman.html.
Clicking on the green box for a given cell type and Histone
Modification or Transcription Factor combination will take you to a
page listing all of the tracks we have available for that
combination. From there you can click the track names to see the
description page for that track which contains information such as a
brief overview of the experimental methods as well as contact
information for the lab that produced the data. To view these tracks
in the UCSC Genome Browser, check the boxes next to each track and
then click "Return to Browser".
Additionally, you can use the above ChIP-seq experiment matrix to
find downloads for data we have available by selecting "files" from
the "search for" dialog box that's in the upper left-hand corner of
the page. After selecting "files", the green boxes in the matrix
will take you to a page that will allow you to download the data for
that given combination.
Note that UCSC is no longer involved in the ENCODE project and that
you can find all of the data described above as well as newer data
at the ENCODE project's website:
https://www.encodeproject.org/. For
help with the new ENCODE project site and the data they provide, you
can contact the ENCODE project here:
https://www.encodeproject.org/help/contacts/.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please
reply to
gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are
archived on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum. If your
question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to
