epiTAD: a web application for visualizing chromosome conformation capture data in the context of genetic epidemiology.

Abstract

Complementary advances in genomic technology and public data resources have created opportunities for researchers to conduct multifaceted examination of the genome on a large scale. To meet the need for integrative genome wide exploration, we present epiTAD. This web-based tool enables researchers to compare genomic 3D organization and annotations across multiple databases in an interactive manner to facilitate in silico discovery. epiTAD can be accessed at https://apps.gerkelab.com/epiTAD/ where we have additionally made publicly available the source code and a Docker containerized version of the application.
