cistrome_mm10

[byerscan]

Database downloads include cistrome files for hg19 and hg38 but not for mm10. The database downloads page on databio site describes a LOLACore for mm10 including Cistrome, but when I downloaded the region core database, cistrome is missing from mm10. Is this a future endeavor? Do you plan on including cistrome as part of LOLAcore for mm10 soon?

In the meantime I have contacted Cistrome directly to get access to the files for mm10 and plan to create a custom database to run with LOLA. Hope to hear about future plans with LOLACore for mm10!

Thanks for pointing this out -- you are right. I think they were in there at one point, but they somehow are not anymore... I guess I didn't notice because I haven't used LOLA much for mouse!

I could construct this mm10 database, as I do still have the original files I downloaded, but if you can get the files from cistrome directly for mm10 it would probably be much more up-to-date, as my download was from 4 years ago... so it's probably best to go that route. If you do create a custom database, if you can pass that on to me I'd be happy to update the primary database (then you could use lolaweb, for example).

I would be happy to share the Cistrome files, but they came with a contingency of not sharing. I will contact them again and ask if it would be OK for LOLA to use; see terms of usage below:

Maybe a simple request will let me go around these restrictions.
