Bug / problem at end of chromosomes #26
Comments
If the chromosome is circular, the interaction you're observing will occur. If, on the other hand, the employed reference is fragmentary, treating the sequences as linear should eliminate the feature. Here is an example of a real Hi-C contact map E.coli [1] [1] Thierry, A., & Cockram, C. (2022). Generating high-resolution Hi-C contact maps of bacteria. Methods in Molecular Biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2301, 183–195. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-1390-0_9 |
Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure I fully understand. If I do not have circular genomes, will the simulation then be wrong at the chromosome boundaries? I agree that the simulation now makes sense for circular genomes, but my genomes are not. |
Yes, you'd be better off adding "--linear" if your chosen genomes are not
by nature circular or if they are incomplete drafts.
As I write to you, I think it would be better if this feature was not an
all-or-nothing switch but rather an annotation in the definition of the
community.

Hi!
I've spent some time debugging why sim3C seems to give too many read pairs where one read is at the end of a chromosome and the other at the beginning. Typically a visualization of a HiC-matrix looks like this, even on a completely random simulated genome:
Note the high interaction at the top right and lower left of the chromosome pictured.
After digging through the code, I noticed this:
I think it's problematic that this is not documented in any way or has not been fixed. I would put a warning in the Readme about this so users are aware.
