Figure 2. NIH Common Fund (Roadmap) Epigenomics Program Components.

Figure 2

Figure 2 shows the components of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program. The reference epigenome mapping components included Mapping Centers, a Data Coordination Center, and databases where scientists can obtain this information (Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). A Computational Epigenomics component was recently funded to support computational investigations into important biological questions or diseases using reference epigenome mapping data. Three technology development initiatives endeavored to improve epigenome-wide assays, improve epigenetic imaging, and enable functional epigenetic manipulation. Two additional components included identification and characterization of novel epigenetic marks as well as investigations into epigenomic processes in human disease.
