The ProteinPaint Hi-C tool (ppHiC) facilitates web-based visualization and collaborative exploration of Hi-C data, a vital resource for understanding three-dimensional genomic structures. ppHiC allows researchers to easily analyze large Hi-C datasets on a web browser without requiring the computational expertise that has heretofore limited access to this complex genomic data. The platform is compatible with multiple Hi-C data versions and boasts a highly customizable interface, including a configuration panel for the precise adjustment of key visualization parameters. The tool's interactive features offer a broad range of views, from whole-genome landscapes to detailed interactions between pairs of loci, that are accessible within a single, integrated environment. Here, we demonstrate how using ppHiC to visualize an altered chromatin conformational landscape in neuroblastoma can inform understanding of the genomic rearrangements in this cancer.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the northern snakehead (Channa argus) using PacBio and Hi-C technologies.

Sci Data

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Mariculture (Ocean University of China), Ministry of Education (KLMME), Fisheries College, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, 266003, China.

The evolutionary origins of specialized organs pose significant challenges for empirical studies, as most such organs evolved millions of years ago. The Northern snakehead (Channa argus), an air-breathing fish, possesses a suprabranchial organ, a common feature of the Anabantoidei, offering a unique opportunity to investigate the function and evolutionary origins of specialized organs. In this study, a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of C.

Uncovering topologically associating domains from three-dimensional genome maps with TADGATE.

Nucleic Acids Res

December 2024

NCMIS, CEMS, RCSDS, Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 55 Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100190, China.

Topologically associating domains (TADs) are essential components of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization and significantly influence gene transcription regulation. However, accurately identifying TADs from sparse chromatin contact maps and exploring the structural and functional elements within TADs remain challenging. To this end, we develop TADGATE, a graph attention auto-encoder that can generate imputed maps from sparse Hi-C contact maps while adaptively preserving or enhancing the underlying topological structures, thereby facilitating TAD identification.

Hubei Key Laboratory of Agricultural Bioinformatics, College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China.

Chromatin compartmentalization and epigenomic modification are crucial in cell differentiation and diseases development. However, precise mapping of chromatin compartmental patterns requires Hi-C or Micro-C data at high sequencing depth. Exploring the systematic relationship between epigenomic modifications and compartmental patterns remains challenging.
