This track displays mRNA-Seq and smRNA-Seq data on a few cell types used in Roadmap Epigenomics Project.
mRNA-Seq measures species and abundance of messanger RNA to estimate gene expression level.
Such data is used in conjugation with epigenetic maps of corresponding samples to study relationship
between epigenomics and gene expression regulation.
smRNA-Seq measures species and abundance of small RNAs.
The small RNA has great implication in transcrptional regulation,
and is considered to be important epigenetic mark.
Display conventions
This track displays read density data in form of wiggle plots.
Number of aligned reads is counted at each base pair, and a summarized value is computed for each 20 bp interval for display.
The subtracks can be displayed and configured individually.

In brief, sequencing reads were aligned with 'Pash' program to derive read density data.
The read density data is prepared into 'wiggle' format files with fixed step length of 20 bp.
Data in wiggle and other formats have been deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus database for public access.
Release Notes
The data is combination of Release II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX which were mapped to human reference genome version hg19. The data is production of Roadmap Epigenomics Project.
