The "BroadHmm/ChromHmm/Combined/Segway" should be split by 4th column, used as "factor". Note that the "Segway" files are much larger that the others, but have good data.
Suggesting combining them. These types may be used instead of tiers. E.g.:
ENCODE
chromStates
__BroadHmm (use as "source" in the file name)
__Celltype (Tier 1 and 2, nine cells total)
__ChromHmm (use as "source" in the file name)
_Celltype (they have Tier 1 only)
__Combined (use as "source" in the file name)
_Celltype
__Segway (use as "source" in the file name)
_____Celltype
Now, we process http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/encodeDCC/wgEncodeBroadHmm/ into "ENCODE/chromStates/Tier1/Cell/" hierarchy. The data are Tier1 and Tier2 only.
There are other chromatin segmentation data, http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/encodeDCC/wgEncodeAwgSegmentation/. It contains 3 types of data, "Chromhmm/Combined/Segway". The data are Tier1 only.
