Package: HiCcompare Title: HiCcompare: Joint normalization and comparative analysis of multiple Hi-C datasets Version: 1.35.0 Authors@R: c( person(given = "Mikhail", family = "Dozmorov", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "mikhail.dozmorov@gmail.com", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-0086-8358")), person(given = "Kellen", family = "Cresswell", role = c("aut"), email = "cresswellkg@vcu.edu"), person(given = "John", family = "Stansfield", role = c("aut"), email = "stansfieldjc@vcu.edu")) Description: HiCcompare provides functions for joint normalization and difference detection in multiple Hi-C datasets. HiCcompare operates on processed Hi-C data in the form of chromosome-specific chromatin interaction matrices. It accepts three-column tab-separated text files storing chromatin interaction matrices in a sparse matrix format which are available from several sources. HiCcompare is designed to give the user the ability to perform a comparative analysis on the 3-Dimensional structure of the genomes of cells in different biological states.`HiCcompare` differs from other packages that attempt to compare Hi-C data in that it works on processed data in chromatin interaction matrix format instead of pre-processed sequencing data. In addition, `HiCcompare` provides a non-parametric method for the joint normalization and removal of biases between two Hi-C datasets for the purpose of comparative analysis. `HiCcompare` also provides a simple yet robust method for detecting differences between Hi-C datasets.
