About this Class

FORGEdb is a web-based tool that can rapidly integrate data for individual genetic variants, providing information on associated regulatory elements, transcription factor (TF) binding sites and target genes for over 37 million variants.
 
FORGEdb uses annotations derived from data across a wide range of biological samples to delineate the regulatory context for each variant at the cell type level. Multiple data types, such as Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) scores, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), activity-by-contact (ABC) interactions, Contextual Analysis of TF Occupancy (CATO) scores, transcription factor (TF) motifs, DNase I hotspots, histone mark ChIP-seq peaks and chromatin states, are included in FORGEdb and these annotations are integrated into a FORGEdb score to guide assessment of functional importance.
