List Of All Known Regulatory Regions In Human Genome

Hi all,

Is there a way to get a list of the start and end base pair positions of all known regulatory sequences (cis, trans, promotors, etc) in the human genome? Many thanks in advance!

human position

see the ENCODE project: http://genome.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/downloads.html ( good luck...)

If you define X kb upstream of a gene to be a promoter, you can get this using the UCSC table browser as follows: Hg19 Promoters .Bed File

Either the ENCODE project or any other FAIRE-seq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAIRE-Seq) public dataset deeply sampled on human tissues would be a good approximation. The current estimates is that 20% of the human genome is doing something (TM).

All Ensembl regulatory features can be obtained from biomart using this query.

Thanks! So what's the difference between all these and the ones from ENCODE?
