Xenopus tropicalis genome data

 

Experimental annotation and analysis of epigenetic regulation

Epigenetic mechanisms set apart the active and inactive regions in the genome of multicellular organisms to produce distinct cell fates during embryogenesis. Transcription profiles, chromatin state maps and genome-wide location analysis of regulatory factors can be used to analyze early development and its early cell lineage decisions. The profiles provide quantitative data on epigenetic regulation and transcriptional activity in the early vertebrate embryo. Moreover, the data can be used to identify promoters, enhancers and transcribed regions and to verify or improve gene annotation.




Xenopus track hubNEW

We have made a track data hub for the UCSC genome browser. This enables easy access to all data without the need to download large files. Please visit our track hub page for more information.

Visualization and annotation tracks can be used as custom tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser using the links below. The visualization tracks are available in wiggle format and represent summed read counts in 10 bp windows (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) or at single base pair resolution (TSS-seq). The XTEV (X. tropicalis experimentally validated gene models) and CpG island annotation tracks are available in BED format.

The "tracks" file below is a bigWig file that can be used to visualize H3K4me3, TBP, H3K4me1, RNAPII, H3K27me3, RNAseq, MethylCap and Input tracks of multiple stages (stages 9, 12, 16 and 30) at the genome browser at NIMR. Alternatively, browse genes for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 profiles at our gene profile page.
