Please post discussion of LDA project here.

We have discussed with Zhiping Weng a while ago. She said it would be more interesting if we look at Histone data instead of TF data.

afhuming commented 9 years ago

Fully agree. From the histone data, we can define cell type specific enhancers. It may lead to new biological findings.

afhuming commented 9 years ago

To define enhancer, we need H3K27ac, H3K4me1 and H3K4me3. We can define active enhancer and poised enhancer. Are those data publicly available?

emorybiostat commented 9 years ago

Roadmap has lots of data. We don't want to get in enhancer prediction. it is a crowded field. We want to check whether a histone mark can be linked to enrichment of several key TF binding motifs.
