December 2017 T2DREAM Portal released

We are pleased to announce the beta release of the T2DREAM portal.  The portal collects and provides data on the human genome and epigenome to facilitate genetic studies of type 2 diabetes and its complications.

Our initial data release consists of 948 assays from published experiments from pancreatic islet, liver, adipose and muscle tissue including histone and transcription factor binding (ChIP-seq), open chromatin (ATAC-seq, DHS-seq, FAIRE-seq), and gene expression (RNA-seq).  In addition, we have released 35 annotations representing published chromatin states from many human tissues and cells.

The Homepage and menus of the portal contains tools for browsing experimental assays, annotations and raw and processed data files. The Region Search tool allows querying genetic variants, genomic regions and genes for overlap with experimental files.

The Getting Started is a comprehensive guide for the T2DREAM portal.
