The International Human Epigenome Consortium: A Blueprint for Scientific Collaboration and Discovery

Cell. 2016 Nov 17;167(5):1145-1149. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2016.11.007.

Abstract

The International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) coordinates the generation of a catalog of high-resolution reference epigenomes of major primary human cell types. The studies now presented (see the Cell Press IHEC web portal at http://www.cell.com/consortium/IHEC) highlight the coordinated achievements of IHEC teams to gather and interpret comprehensive epigenomic datasets to gain insights in the epigenetic control of cell states relevant for human health and disease.
