Essential human gene promoter coordinates

Genomic coordinates (hg38) of essential human gene promoters. Transcription start sites of essential genes (Hart et al., 2015) were determined from Gencode annotation (v28) and extended 1 kb up- and downstream.

Format

bed file with 13944 genomic intervals (each 2 kb in size).
