Galaxy HiCExplorer: a web server for reproducible Hi-C data analysis, quality control and visualization

Nucleic Acids Res. 2018 Jul 2;46(W1):W11-W16. doi: 10.1093/nar/gky504.

Abstract

Galaxy HiCExplorer is a web server that facilitates the study of the 3D conformation of chromatin by allowing Hi-C data processing, analysis and visualization. With the Galaxy HiCExplorer web server, users with little bioinformatic background can perform every step of the analysis in one workflow: mapping of the raw sequence data, creation of Hi-C contact matrices, quality assessment, correction of contact matrices and identification of topological associated domains (TADs) and A/B compartments. Users can create publication ready plots of the contact matrix, A/B compartments, and TADs on a selected genomic locus, along with additional information like gene tracks or ChIP-seq signals. Galaxy HiCExplorer is freely usable at: https://hicexplorer.usegalaxy.eu and is available as a Docker container: https://github.com/deeptools/docker-galaxy-hicexplorer.
