Hello Ruth,
In general we do not provide advice about scientific direction and how
to interpret your results. The range values are unique to each cell
line/histone modification combination. For more details about the data
you can consult the track description page - which can be accessed by
clicking on the blue/gray bar to the left of the main browser display or
by clicking on the track title. For all ENCODE tracks you will find
contact information for the lab that generated the data at the bottom of
the description page and you can contact them with further questions.
Best regards,
Pauline Fujita
