Downloading CHIP-seq bed files for ENCODE Histone modification data

Hi,

I would like to get Chip-seq bed files for multiple histone modifiers and cell lines. However, when I sure detailed search of Encode Chip-Seq matrix it is really hard to get bed files, because for every single file I have to copy the GSM code to omnibus and download. Since I have 71 files, is there a way to download this easier?

Any suggestion would be very good so please dont hesitate to share.

Thank you very much

Tunc

Hi Tunc, If you're still trying to find an easy way to download ENCODE ChiP-Seq datasets, you can use a bioinformatics tool called BioShed (https://www.bioshed.io). It's easy to get started and the steps are as follows:

To install:

pip install bioshed

To initialize and setup (you will need an AWS account to access the ENCODE files, you can find help at https://www.bioshed.io/docs/):

bioshed init
bioshed setup aws

Then, you just need to type something like:

bioshed search encode breast cancer chip-seq
bioshed download encode --filetype BED

Hope that helps!
