Yeast Histone Modification Identifier

What is YHMI?

  • YHMI is a web tool to identify the enriched/depleted histone modifications and the enriched histone/chromatin regulators for a gene list.

  • YHMI uses ChIP-chip/ChIP-seq datasets of 32 histone modifications and 83 histone/chromatin regulators.

    15 histone acetylation H2AK5ac, H3K4ac, H3K9ac, H3K14ac, H3K14ac [H2O2], H3K18ac, H3K23ac, H3K27ac, H3K56ac, H4ac, H4ac [H2O2], H4K5ac, H4K8ac, H4K12ac, H4K16ac
    13 histone methylation H3R2me2a, H3K4me, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K36me, H3K36me2, H3K36me3, H3K79me, H3K79me2, H3K79me3, H4R3me, H4R3me2s, H4K20me
    2 histone phosphorylation H2AS129ph, H3S10ph
    1 histone ubiquitination H2BK123ub
    1 histone variant H2AZ
    83 histone/chromatin regulators (in 25℃ and 37℃) Ada2, Brn1, Esa1, Gcn5, Rsc4, Rxt2, Snf1, Swc1, Yaf9, ... See more.
  • The identification results are shown both in figures and tables.

Two Related Websites

  • Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) comprehensively collects the yeast histone modification datasets from the literature and allows users to visualize various histone modifications using JBrowse (a genome browser). [Example]

  • The Yeast Nucleosome Atlas (YNA) implements a tool for users to retrieve a list of yeast genes whose promoters and/or coding regions contain a specific combination of histone modifications (e.g. H3K4ac & H3K4me3 in promoters).
