As the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) launched officially at the 2010 Washington meeting, a giant step toward the conquest of unexplored regions of the human genome has begun. IHEC aims at the production of 1,000 reference epigenomes to the international scientific community for next 7-10 years. Seven member institutions, including South Korea, Korea National Institute of Health (KNIH), will produce 25-200 reference epigenomes individually, and the produced data will be publically available by using a data center. Epigenome data will cover from whole genome bisulfite sequencing, histone modification, and chromatin access information to miRNA-seq. The final goal of IHEC is the production of reference maps of human epigenomes for key cellular status relevant to health and disease.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 11, 2022. Project for human epigenomic data from experimental pipelines built around next-generation sequencing technologies to map DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility and small RNA transcripts in stem cells and primary ex vivo tissues selected to represent normal counterparts of tissues and organ systems frequently involved in human disease. Consortium expects to deliver collection of normal epigenomes that will provide framework or reference for comparison and integration within broad array of future studies. Consortium is also committed to development, standardization and dissemination of protocols, reagents and analytical tools to enable research community to utilize, integrate and expand upon this body of data.
