American Society of Human Genetics 2015 Annual Meeting
Members of the ENCODE consortium were at the American Society of Human Genetics' 2015 Annual Meeting from October 6th to 10th in Baltimore, Maryland, presenting the Advanced Workshop on Integrative Analysis using ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics Data. This workshop began with brief overviews of the ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects. Hands-on tutorials were provided regarding how to perform integrative analysis with a variety of data sets as seen in recent ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics publications, with a special focus on how they can be used to improve the annotation of genetic variants underlying disease.
Workshop attendees received hands-on experience using the following resources:
- Searching for datasets using the ENCODE portal (encodeproject.org)
- Browsing and downloading Encyclopedia annotations from ENCODE and REMC
- Using RegulomeDB and HaploReg to query ENCODE and REMC data
- Using the ENCODE element browser and 3D Genome Browser
- Using ChromHMM to predict regulatory states in the genome
This workshop educated researchers, clinicians, and genetic counselors on how to use ENCODE data to generate hypotheses for further biological investigation.
