Human Epigenome Project

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]}

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute — UK
Epigenomics AG — Germany/USA
The Centre National de Génotypage — France
