Table 1 Chromatin state description

Candidate promoters		Candidate enhancers
State number	Description	State number	Description
1	Active TSS	10	Transcription 5’ enhancer
2	Promoter upstream TSS	11	Transcription 3’ enhancer
3	Promoter downstream TSS with DNase	12	Transcription weak enhancer
4	Promoter downstream TSS	13	Active enhancer 1
22	Poised promoter	14	Active enhancer 2
23	Bivalent promoter	15	Active enhancer flank
		16	Weak enhancer 1
		17	Weak enhancer 2
		18	Enhancer acetylation only

Note: The state numbers and the description are from [10]. The state numbers were designated by the 25-state-HMM. The description was based on the enrichment of functional annotations and experimentally observed characteristics
