erma: epigenomics road map adventures
August 2015
Contents
1 Introduction
The epigenomics road map describes locations of epigenetic marks in DNA from a variety of cell types. Of interest are locations of histone modifications, sites of DNA methylation, and regions of accessible chromatin.
This package presents a selection of elements of the road map including metadata and outputs of the ChromImpute procedure applied to ENCODE cell lines by Ernst and Kellis.
2 Metadata on the ChromImpute archive
2.1 Sample metadata
I have retrieved a Google Docs spreadsheet with comprehensive information. The mapmeta() function provides access to a local DataFrame image of the file as retrieved in mid April 2015. We provide a dynamic view of a selection of columns. Use the search box to filter records shown, for example .
## NOTE: input data had non-ASCII characters replaced by ' '.2.2 Metadata on the inferred states
The chromatin states and standard colorings
used are enumerated in states_25:
The emission parameters of the 25 state model are depicted in the supplementary Figure 33 of Ernst and Kellis:
3 Managing access to imputed chromatin states for a set of cell types
I have retrieved a modest number of roadmap bed files with ChromImpute
mnemonic labeling of chromatin by states. These can be
managed with an ErmaSet instance,
a trivial extension of GenomicFiles class.
The cellTypes method yields a character vector. The colData
component has full metadata on the cell lines available.

the csProfile utility to visualize variation in state assignments
in promoter regions for various genes.
