EpiExplorer is a web tool that allows you to use large reference epigenome datasets for your own analysis without complex scripting or laborous preprocessing.
EpiExplorer has been decommissioned because its technological basis is no longer supported. Unfortunately, there is currently no other tool that provides a perfect replacement of EpiExplorer's interactive discovery. Potential substitutes for EpiExplorer are Galaxy and DeepBlue.
