Due to many inquiries about the databases for GenomeRunner, I am currently working on compiling new version of genome annotation data. Now, the database will reflect the structure of the trackDb table.
The ENCODE data will be separated from UCSC annotations, and will have similar hierarchical organization, as in UCSC. That is, the data will be split into "data source/type" categories (like BroadHistone), and by cell types, as defined by the ENCODE data coordination center at UCSC. The goal is to make it much easier to run cell type-specific analyses, and/or to focus on best quality (Tier 1) data.
Keep in touch, the update is planned to be released before year's end. As always, I am grateful for everyone insights and suggestions.
