epiCOLOC: Integrating Large-Scale and Context-Dependent Epigenomics Features for Comprehensive Colocalization Analysis
High-throughput genome-wide epigenomic assays, such as ChIP-seq, DNase-seq and ATAC-seq, have profiled a huge number of functional elements across numerous human tissues/cell types, which provide an unprecedented opportunity to interpret human genome and disease in context-dependent manner. Colocali...

description | High-throughput genome-wide epigenomic assays, such as ChIP-seq, DNase-seq and ATAC-seq, have profiled a huge number of functional elements across numerous human tissues/cell types, which provide an unprecedented opportunity to interpret human genome and disease in context-dependent manner. Colocalization analysis determines whether genomic features are functionally related to a given search and will facilitate identifying the underlying biological functions characterizing intricate relationships with queries for genomic regions. Existing colocalization methods leveraged diverse assumptions and background models to assess the significance of enrichment, however, they only provided limited and predefined sets of epigenomic features. Here, we comprehensively collected and integrated over 44,385 bulk or single-cell epigenomic assays across 53 human tissues/cell types, such as transcription factor binding, histone modification, open chromatin and transcriptional event. By classifying these profiles into hierarchy of tissue/cell type, we developed a web portal, epiCOLOC (http://mulinlab.org/epicoloc or http://mulinlab.tmu.edu.cn/epicoloc), for users to perform context-dependent colocalization analysis in a convenient way. |
