We present MUSTACHE, a new method for multi-scale detection of chromatin loops from Hi-C and Micro-C contact maps. MUSTACHE employs scale-space theory, a technical advance in computer vision, to detect blob-shaped objects in contact maps. MUSTACHE is scalable to kilobase-resolution maps and reports loops that are highly consistent between replicates and between Hi-C and Micro-C datasets. Compared to other loop callers, such as HiCCUPS and SIP, MUSTACHE recovers a higher number of published ChIA-PET and HiChIP loops as well as loops linking promoters to regulatory elements. Overall, MUSTACHE enables an efficient and comprehensive analysis of chromatin loops. Available at: https://github.com/ay-lab/mustache .
我们提出了 MUSTACHE 方法,这是一种从 Hi-C 和 Micro-C 接触图谱中检测染色质环的新方法。MUSTACHE 采用了尺度空间理论,这是计算机视觉领域的一项技术进步,用于检测接触图谱中的斑点状物体。MUSTACHE 可扩展到千碱基分辨率的图谱,并报告在重复实验和 Hi-C 与 Micro-C 数据集之间高度一致的环。与其他环调用器(如 HiCCUPS 和 SIP)相比,MUSTACHE 能够恢复更多已发表的 ChIA-PET 和 HiChIP 环以及连接启动子和调控元件的环。总的来说,MUSTACHE 能够实现对染色质环的高效和全面分析。可在 https://github.com/ay-lab/mustache 获得。
