WashU Epigenome Browser
The WashU Epigenome Browser is an online and downloadable genome browser hosted by the Washington University in St. Louis and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is an interactive, open-source website offering access to epigenome sequence data from a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate species and major model organisms. It is used for visualizing, navigating, and interpreting data and metadata in a meaningful way. It hosts genomic data from large scale Consortium projects, such as: ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics Project , to which it serves as a de facto gateaway, IHEC, TaRGET, and 4DN.

It is one of the most widely used genome browser, together with the UCSC Genome Browser and the Ensembl project genome browser.
