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.

Mecoptera is a small relict order of insects within the Holometabola. Panorpidae is the most speciose family in Mecoptera. They are also known as scorpion flies due to the enlarged and upward recurved male genital bulb.

Since the early 20th century, the concept of doping was first introduced. To achieve better athletic performance, chemical substances were used. By the mid-20th century, it became gradually recognized that the illegal use of doping substances can seriously endangered athletes' health and compromised the fairness of sports competitions.

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.

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.

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.
