Epigenetics - Hi-C analysis of Drosophila melanogaster cells using HiCExplorer

http://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/topics/epigenetics/tutorials/hicexplorer/tutorial.html

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism used by higher eukaryotes and involved in e.g. gene expression, X-Chromosome inactivating, imprinting, and gene silencing of germline specific gene and repetitive elements.

Questions of the tutorial:

  • Why is a Hi-C analysis useful?
  • What is 'chromosome conformation capture'?
  • What are main steps in order to generate and plot a Hi-C contact matrix?
