FAQPage Schema
How do I identify compartments, loops, and TADs from Hi-C data?

To identify compartments, loops, and TADs from Hi-C data, provide processed contact matrices to a workflow that calls these 3D genome features. The workflow applies Python-based tooling to extract structural features and outputs reproducible artifacts in a structured layout.

What is the best way to compare 3D genome structure between treated and control samples?

Comparing 3D genome structure between treated and control samples requires applying a Hi-C analysis workflow across conditions and resolutions. This workflow identifies differential chromatin interactions and structural rearrangements, generating interpretable visualizations for publication or reporting.

Does this Hi-C analysis workflow require Python to process contact maps?

Yes, this Hi-C analysis workflow enforces Python-based tooling to process contact maps and call 3D genome features. It also records software versions and key parameters to ensure the analysis is fully reproducible.

Can I generate publication-ready figures from Hi-C contact matrices?

Yes, you can generate publication-ready figures from Hi-C contact matrices. The workflow produces interpretable visualizations of contact maps and derived structural features like loops and TADs directly suitable for publication or reporting.

What Hi-C data formats do I need to start analyzing 3D genome organization?

To start analyzing 3D genome organization, you need to provide a processed Hi-C dataset, such as contacts or matrices. Supplying this input allows the workflow to generate compartments, loops, TADs, and corresponding visualizations.

Can I use this workflow to compare Hi-C contact matrices across multiple resolutions?

Yes, you can apply this workflow to Hi-C contact matrices across different resolutions to compare structural differences. It processes the matrices across subjects and conditions to identify variations in 3D genome features.
