The WashU Epigenome Browser provides visualization, integration and analysis tools for epigenomic datasets.
It has provided the scientific community with data from large consortia including the Roadmap Epigenomics and the ENCODE projects.
The browser is also available as Docker images,
Key Features
- Responsive user interface.
- Undo/Redo functionality.
- Visualization using virtual reality (VR), which has implications in biology education and the study of 3D chromatin structure; (ii)
- Expanded public data hubs, including data from the 4DN, ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics, TaRGET, IHEC and TCGA consortia.
- History of interactions, which enables undo and redo
- Live Browsing, which allows multiple users to collaborate remotely on the same session. Share screen with your PI, collaborators and friends.
- Ability to visualize local tracks and data hubs.
