  • To improve the accuracy of topological structure annotation from Hi-C data.
  • To overcome limitations of low sequencing coverage and enhance the analysis of 3D genome organization.

Main Methods:

  • Developed RefHiC, an attention-based deep learning model.
  • Utilized a reference panel comprising hundreds of publicly available Hi-C datasets.
  • Compared RefHiC performance against existing tools on diverse cell types, species, and sequencing depths.

Main Results:

  • RefHiC significantly outperforms existing methods in annotating topological associating domains and loops.
  • The framework demonstrates robust performance across various cell types, species, and sequencing coverages.
  • Leveraging reference Hi-C data enhances annotation accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • RefHiC offers a powerful approach for accurate topological structure annotation from Hi-C data.
