Overview
This project investigates the spatial conformation of the chromatin in the nucleus of pig muscle cells during late development.
Using High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (in situ Hi-C), we identified, characterized and compared genomic interaction matrices from muscle samples at two different stages (90 and 110 days post gestation, with 3 biological replicates per stage).
Resources
Animals and samples
Information about the biological material that was used in this study is available:

- at the FAANG data center using the accession PRJEB40576
Analysis results
Results from the computational data analysis are available at the INRAE Data Portail under the doi doi:10.15454/DOMEHB. This includes:
- Hi-C interaction matrices generated by HiC-Pro from the sequencing reads for each of the 6 samples.
- Detected TADs for each of the 6 interaction matrices using the juicer tool's arrowhead method.
- Detected A/B genomic compartments for each of the 6 interaction matrices using the HiTC R package.
Computational tools
A code repository with documented scripts for data visualization and analysis has been made available at the INRAE Forge: pig3Dgenome. This includes:
- list and description of the input files
- differential analysis of the Hi-C interaction matrices
- analysis of BODIs (Blocks Of Differential Interactions)
- correlation analyses between number of interactions and number of either TADs or A/B compartments
- statistical test about telomere clustering (DNA FISH 3D results)
- visualization of Hi-C matrices
