Preparing samples for analysis in epigenetic regulation in both genome-wide and locus-specific manners.
The Epigenomics Core provides resources and services to prepare samples for analysis in epigenetic regulation in both genome-wide and locus-specific manners. Epigenetic regulation refers to DNA sequence-independent regulation of heritable traits that impacts gene expression. In recent years the term has broadened to also encompass processes that control gene expression and genomic functions beyond DNA sequence but which may be more transient or facultative in nature.
providing information on the 3D organization of the genome and its role in gene regulation
providing information on DNA methylation status across the genome at different levels of resolution
mapping genome-wide distribution patterns of specific histone modifications
identifying accessible regions in the chromatin structure

Included in the service request to the Epigenomics Core is the following output:
- Raw sequence data (FASTQ files)
- FASTCQ output (HTML and TXT files)
For ERRBS/mERRBS and WGBS projects the following files are also provided:
- CpG context methylation calls (TXT files)
- CpG context methylation calls for visualization (BEDGRAPH files)
- Summary statistics (Excel file)
For a more in-depth analysis, or if you require custom output, please state your interest at the consultation.

Acknowledgment of Contributions
Projects that use data or samples generated by the Epigenomics Core and result in publication should include an acknowledgement of the Core or include members as coauthors. The Epigenomics Core uses these acknowledgements and authorship to help demonstrate our contributions to the research community. This in turn helps secure future funding to maintain a robust Core facility and provide professional development of its staff. The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities has published a guideline to use when considering whether or not to include core laboratory members on publications.
