text: Dynamic changes in the three-dimensional (3D) organization of chromatin are
associated with central biological processes, such as transcription, replication
and development. Therefore, the comprehensive identification and quantification
of these changes is fundamental to understanding of evolutionary and regulatory
mechanisms. Here, we present Comparison of Hi-C Experiments using Structural Similarity
(CHESS), an algorithm for the comparison of chromatin contact maps and automatic
differential feature extraction. We demonstrate the robustness of CHESS to experimental
variability and showcase its biological applications on (1) interspecies comparisons
of syntenic regions in human and mouse models; (2) intraspecies identification
of conformational changes in Zelda-depleted Drosophila embryos; (3) patient-specific
aberrant chromatin conformation in a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma sample; and
(4) the systematic identification of chromatin contact differences in high-resolution
Capture-C data. In summary, CHESS is a computationally efficient method for the
comparison and classification of changes in chromatin contact data.
