Enhancing Hi-C data resolution with deep convolutional neural network HiCPlus

Abstract

Despite its popularity for measuring the spatial organization of mammalian genomes, the resolution of most Hi-C datasets is coarse due to sequencing cost. Here, Zhang et al. develop HiCPlus, a computational approach based on deep convolutional neural network, to infer high-resolution Hi-C interaction matrices from low-resolution Hi-C data.
