Data Reuse Statement

To balance the interests of all stakeholders, resource users are asked to respect the ability of the data generators to publish an initial analysis of their own data in a timely manner so as not to slow the progress of science.

The submission and embargo end dates for all submitted data are available at data submission listing .


Downloading Data

The underlying sequence data both aligned (bam format) and raw (fastq format) is available via the study Reference epigenomes generated as part of the International Human Epigenomics Consortium (IHEC) at European Genome-phenome Archive.
