<p>The goal of this study is to produce a comprehensive map of the chromatin landscape of human parathyroids. Data from 20 subjects with parathyroid adenoma causing primary hyperparathyroidism were used. For the sequencing platform, Illumina HiSeq 2000 with V3 high-output kits were used. For the data processing pipeline, reads were aligned to hg19 using Bowtie or BWA. For RNA-seq data, transcript levels were estimated per gene to RPKM using Cufflink. For ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data, enrichment peaks were estimated compared to inputs or background using MACS2 after merging reads from replicates. For DNase-seq, significant peaks compared to background distribution were computed using Hotspot. For Hi-C data, significant interactions were detected using Juicer HiCCUPS and 5 kb resolution for the merged data from replicates. Chromatin states for parathyroids were computed using ChromHMM based on ChIP-seq profiles in parathyroids of H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 and the emission matrix from 18 states pre-trained in the Roadmap Epigenomics. Gene expression, binding positions of transcription factor, open chromatin regions, 3D-chromatin interaction, and chromatin states are submitted.</p>
