Accurate detection of TADs requires ultra-deep sequencing and sophisticated normalisation procedures, which limits the analysis of Hi-C data. Here the authors develop a normalisation-free method to decode the domains of chromosomes (deDoc) that utilizes structural entropy to predict TADs with ultra-low sequencing data.
