A cool place to store your Hi-C

Cooler is a support library for a sparse, compressed, binary persistent storage format, also called cooler, used to store genomic interaction data, such as Hi-C contact matrices.

The cooler file format is an implementation of a genomic matrix data model using HDF5 as the container format. The cooler package includes a suite of command line tools and a Python API to facilitate creating, querying and manipulating cooler files.

To get started:

  • Install cooler
  • Read the documentation and see the Jupyter Notebook walkthrough.
  • cool files from published Hi-C data sets are available at ftp://cooler.csail.mit.edu/coolers.
  • Many more multires (mcool) files are available on the 4DN data portal.

Installation

Install from PyPI using pip.

$ pip install cooler

If you are using conda, you can alternatively install cooler from the bioconda channel.

$ conda install -c conda-forge -c bioconda cooler
