Human epigenomic data has been generated by large consortia for thousands of cell types to be used as a reference map normal and disease chromatin states. Since epigenetic contains potentially identifiable information, similarly genetic data, most raw files these are stored in controlled-access databases. It is important protect but this should not hinder secure sharing valuable datasets.
