fourDNData

fourDNData (read 4DN-Data) is a data package giving programmatic access to Hi-C contact files uniformly processed by the 4DN consortium.

The fourDNData() function provides a gateway to 4DN-hosted Hi-C files, including contact matrices (in .hic or .mcool) and other Hi-C derived files such as annotated compartments, domains, insulation scores, or pairs files.

The fourDNHiCExperiment() function recovers all 4DN-hosted Hi-C files associated with a single experimentSet Accession number.

library(fourDNData)
head(fourDNData())
fourDNData('4DNESDP9ECMN', type = 'compartments')
fourDNHiCExperiment('4DNESDP9ECMN')
