Hello Alessandro,
Thanks for using the UCSC Genome Browser and for submitting your question regarding how to find certain cell lines and also general data from ENCODE data.
General information about ENCODE at UCSC (
limited until 2012
).
Please note: ENCODE results from 2007 until present day are available from the
ENCODE Project Portal.
UCSC ENCODE Downloads for hg19 (2007-2012 data):
https://genome.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/downloads.htmlFor finding certain cell line ENCODE data in the hg19 UCSC Genome Browser, please see
this previously answered question, which describes how to use our "track search" function
.
Our
ENCODE vocab page can also help with picking out a cell type (and interpreting other metaData):
For example, a search of 'melanoma' hits these three samples:
Colo829
RPMI-7951
Mel_2183
From here, you could use the
Experiment Matrix to see experiments on these cell types
.
In general, your best option is to go to the new ENCODE portal. For example, at the new ENCODE portal, you can search "melanoma" and then click on "Biosample" under the "Data Type" section in the upper left of the search results and each Biosample will list related experiments on their
individual pages.
Please note that the ENCODE portal at
www.encodeproject.org is supported separately from the UCSC Genome Browser. For help specific to this portal, please refer to their
contact page,
