Human Epigenome Project (HEP) is a multinational science project, with the stated aim to "identify, catalog, and interpret genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of all human genes in all major tissues".[1] It is financed by government funds as well as private investment, via a consortium of genetic research organisations.
The call for such a project was widely suggested and supported by cancer research scientists from all over the world.[2][3][4][5]
Consortium
The HEP consortium is made up of the following organizations:
- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute — UK
- Epigenomics AG — Germany/USA
- The Centre National de Génotypage — France
