Summary:
Complementary advances in genomic technology and public data resources have created opportunities for researchers to conduct multifaceted examination of the genome on a large scale. To meet the need for integrative genome wide exploration, we present epiTAD. This web-based tool enables researchers to compare genomic 3D organization and annotations across multiple databases in an interactive manner to facilitate in silico discovery.
Availability And Implementation:
epiTAD can be accessed at https://apps.gerkelab.com/epiTAD/ where we have additionally made publicly available the source code and a Docker containerized version of the application.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
Telomeres consist of non-coding repetitive nucleotide...
