Summary (written by the submitters)
Eukaryotic gene regulatory information is contained within the DNA sequences of cis-regulatory elements and the epigenetic features of the chromatin surrounding these elements. Recent investigations in yeast, fly, and mammalian systems have made significant contributions toward our understanding of the relationship between gene activation and chromatin architecture at transcriptional promoters, but much work remains to improve our knowledge of this relationship at human promoters and other transcriptional regulatory elements, such as enhancers.

Here, we report that human promoters and enhancers are associated with distinct chromatin signatures that can be employed to predict these classes of regulatory elements in the human genome. Using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and microarray (ChIP-chip) experiments, we generated high-resolution maps of the chromatin architecture along 30 Mbp of the human genome, located promoters and enhancers in these regions, and characterized the histone modification features of these regulatory elements. We found that active promoters are marked by tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) at the transcriptional start site (TSS) and mono-methylation of this residue (H3K4me1) downstream and upstream of the TSS. In contrast, enhancers are marked by H3K4me1 but not H3K4me3. Both types of regulatory elements are also associated with nucleosome depletion and varying degrees of histone acetylation and H3K4me2. We developed computational prediction algorithms that employ the distinct chromatin signatures to identify new promoters and enhancers, predicting over 200 promoters and 400 enhancers within the 30 Mbp regions. This approach correctly predicted over 84% of the regulatory elements identified in an independent, unbiased study of transcription factor binding in the same regions. Our results suggest a histone code for distinct classes of transcriptional regulatory elements, offering insights into the functional relationships between chromatin modifications and regulatory activity in human cells and providing a new resource for the functional annotation of the human genome.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need.

All supplementary files ↗
3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE6273_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA63415. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
