About this page

• You can get CpG Island region data for a specific genome version from UCSC table browser.
• This description explains how to get known CpG Island information as a BED format.

Get the repeat CpG Island data from UCSC

1. Access to UCSC Genome Bioinformatics page.
   • 
   • Push link for "Table Browser" on the left side menu.
2. Select download options and fill information to specify the download data type and format.
   • 
   • You can also access from here.
   • In this example genome version is GRCh37/hg19 of human.
   • Check the followings.

     output format	BED
     output file	"anyName.bed.gz"	in this example "hg19.CpG_island.20131009.bed.gz"
     file type returned	gzip compressed

   • If the file format, compression algorithm and postfix in the file name are not coincide, uploading process or analysis process will fail.
3. Push "get output" button.
4. Push "get BED" button for downloading.
   • 
   • After download you get the CpG Island data file with the name you specified.
   • 

Upload data to Maser
