Abstract:The human genome is marked by several singular and combinatorial histone modifications that shape the different states of chromatin and its three-dimensional organization. Genome-wide mapping of these marks as well as histone variants and open chromatin regions is commonly carried out via profiling DNA–protein binding or via chromatin accessibility methods. After the generation of epigenomic datasets in a cell type, statistical models can be used to annotate the noncoding regions of DNA and infer the combinato… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
