Abstract
Embodiments of techniques for analyzing one or more genomic regions of a genome of an organism. Data about a genomic region may be analyzed to determine an information content of the genomic region, which may indicate an amount of information provided by the genomic region. The data about the genomic region may be or include data identifying a chromatin state for the genomic region. A chromatin state may be one of a set of chromatin states that each define a different set of one or more chromatin characteristics. Chromatin characteristics may be structural and/or functional features of genomic regions. A chromatin state of a genomic region may be determined from, and describe, the genomic region such that when a genomic region has a set of one or more chromatin characteristics, a chromatin state associated with that combination of one or more chromatin characteristics is identified for the genomic region.
