Human Epigenome Project

Add article description

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:[citation needed]
