DLR_ICF

This tutorial will introduce how to run DLR_ICF to analyze DLR and ICF.

DLR_ICF can be used to analyze DLR and ICF based on normlazed Hi-C contact matrix.

DLR: distal-to-local ratio
ICF: inter-chromosomal fraction

calculate the DIR and ICF for individual Hi-C contact matrix

usage:

DLR_ICF_main [-h] -N normal -I INPUTPATH -f FILENAME -d DISTANCE -r RESOLUTION -O OUTPATH -c CHRSIZE -o OUTFILE

the format of input file is mcool format.
the output file is bedgraph which can be visualized in IGV/UCSC or other genome browsers.

example:

1. used the iced normalized contact matrix to calculate DLR/ICF.
   DLR_ICF_main -N "ICE" -I "the path of matrix" -f "test" -d 1000000 -r 10000 -o 1Mb_test_10kb -O "the path of output" -c hg38.chrom.sizes

2. used the balanced contact matrix (mcool) to calculate DLR/ICF.
   DLR_ICF_main -N "ICE" -I "the path of matrix" -f "test" -d 1000000 -r 10000 -o 1Mb_test_10kb -O "the path of output" -c hg38.chrom.sizes

optional arguments:

-h		--help		show this help message and exit
-N	normal	--normal		normalization of .mcool file.

calculate gene-wise DIR and ICF for individual Hi-C contact matrix

usage:

DLR_ICF_gene [-h] -N normal -I INPUTPATH -f FILENAME -d DISTANCE -r RESOLUTION -g "hg38_gene.bed" -O OUTPATH -c CHRSIZE -o OUTFILE

the format of input file is mcool format.
the output file is bedgraph which can be visualized in IGV/UCSC or other genome browsers.

example:

1. used the iced normalized contact matrix to calculate gene-wise DLR/ICF.
   DLR_ICF_gene -N "ICE" -I "the path of matrix" -f "test" -d 1000000 -r 10000 -o 1Mb_test_10kb -g "hg38_gene.bed" -O "the path of output" -c hg38.chrom.sizes

2. used the balanced contact matrix (mcool) to calculate gene-wise DLR/ICF.
   DLR_ICF_gene -N "ICE" -I "the path of matrix" -f "test" -d 1000000 -r 10000 -o 1Mb_test_10kb -g "hg38_gene.bed" -O "the path of output" -c hg38.chrom.sizes

divide the DIR and ICF into different groups based on compartment definitions.

compare the difference in the DIR and ICF for 2 Hi-C contact matrices.

usage:

DLR_ICF_comparison [-h] -i INPUTPATH -t TREATMENT -c CONTROL -r RESOLUTION -O OUTPATH -o OUTFILE

example:
DLR_ICF_comparison -i "the path of matrix" t "caseid" -c "controlid" -r 10000 -o 1Mb_test_10kb -O "the path of output"

Here we convert the DLR/ICF ratio into z-score, and calculate p value and fdr.

the output file is bedgraph which can be visualized in IGV/UCSC or other genome browsers.
