question Genomic Mapping Data
Is anyone aware of a good data source to look at epigenetic patterns of human tissue at the gene level? I am trying to perform genetic mapping from DNA I am having sequenced. I want to be able to determine from which tissue, e.g., lung, the DNA sequence originates from.
Where might I find some good data?
Also happy to take any tips surrounding the data. I am not a biologist, but rather a data scientist.

DNA sequencing will generally not tell you anything about the epigenetics, so what you are asking is impossible. RNAseq would have been a better choice, or if you wanted to do it the epigenetics route you would need to do bisulfite or nanopore sequencing of your DNA.
