Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Single-cell Hi-C research faces challenges with inefficient and error-prone data storage.
  • Existing methods like raw data publication or text-based matrices are storage-intensive and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an efficient, user-friendly, and storage-saving file format for single-cell Hi-C data.
  • To provide a stable and shareable solution for managing single-cell Hi-C datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the single-cell cool format (scool).
  • Integration of scool as a flavor of the established cooler file format.

Main Results:

  • The scool format offers significant improvements in efficiency and usability for single-cell Hi-C data.
  • It reduces storage requirements and pre-processing labor compared to existing methods.
  • Guarantees stable API support within the cooler ecosystem.

Conclusions:

  • The scool format is a valuable advancement for single-cell Hi-C research.
  • It simplifies data handling and promotes reproducibility.
  • The format is readily available through standard package managers and GitHub.
