CenhANCER: a comprehensive cancer enhancer database for primary tissues and cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Enhancers, which are key tumorigenic factors with wide applications for subtyping, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, are attracting increasing attention in the cancer research. However, systematic analysis of cancer enhancers poses a challenge due to the lack of integrative data resources, especially those from tumor primary tissues. To provide a comprehensive enhancer profile across cancer types, we developed a cancer enhancer database CenhANCER by curating public resources including all the public H3K27ac ChIP-Seq data from 805 primary tissue samples and 671 cell line samples across 41 cancer types. In total, 57 029 408 typical enhancers, 978 411 super-enhancers and 226 726 enriched transcription factors were identified. We annotated the super-enhancers with chromatin accessibility regi
