Introduction to Eukaroytic Promoter Database (EPD)

Описание: This lecture gives an overview of the Eukaroytic Promoter Database EPD (https://epd.epfl.ch//index.php). EPD provides access to consensus transcription start site (TSS) positions of protein-coding genes and certain classes of non-coding RNAs. The EPD viewer dynamically combines and uploades carefully selected tracks from different data repositories, in order to provide an optimal, compact view of a regulatory region. The displayed default tracks include transcription initiation patterns at single-base resolution, histone modification profiles, nucleosome maps, transcription factor binding sites, regulatory SNPs, repetitive elements and cross-species conservation scores.
The video was recorded live during the course “Tools for regulatory genomics: using ISMARA, CRUNCH, EPD, and ChIP-seq tools to infer regulatory interactions from transcriptomic and epigenomic data” streamed on 7-8 April 2020.
Target audience: PhD students, postdocs and other researchers, from any scientific environment (academia, facilities, companies, etc.) working with regulatory genomics data. Any researcher that aims to make computational inferences about gene regulation from gene expression and chromatin state data. Purely experimental researchers, computational biologists and bioinformatic researchers
Speaker: Philipp Bucher, Researcher at EPFL and SIB Group Leader.
