Building spatial world models from sparse transitional episodic memories
Topologically associating domains (TADs) are fundamental units of 3D genomes and play essential roles in gene regulation. Hi-C data suggests… (see more) a hierarchical organization of TADs. Accurately annotating nested TADs from Hi-C data remains challenging, both in terms of the precise identification of boundaries and the correct inference of hierarchies. While domain boundary is relatively well conserved across cells, few approaches have taken advantage of this fact. Here, we present RobusTAD to annotate TAD hierarchies. It incorporates additional Hi-C data to refine boundaries annotated from the study sample. RobusTAD outperforms existing tools at boundary and domain annotation across several benchmarking tasks.
