## Description

The International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) is an international research initiative that supports collaboration and data sharing in epigenomics. By setting quality standards and providing communication structures, IHEC encourages scientists to exchange findings, reduce duplication across research projects, and advance understanding of how epigenomic processes relate to human health and disease.

IHEC offers researchers and the public access to resources for exploring epigenomic data. Its Data Portal enables users to view, search, and download reference epigenomes contributed by IHEC-associated projects. The site also features tools to help users navigate, analyze, and interpret epigenomic datasets, alongside information about research projects, publications, standards, and EpiATLAS. Working groups focus on areas including integrative analysis and bioethics, with resources intended to support data discovery, interpretation, and responsible research.

Through its research pages, educational material on why epigenomics matters, annual meeting records, and online updates, IHEC helps connect the scientific community and makes resources available to people interested in the field.
