Abstract
Hi-C experiments study how genomes fold in 3D, generating contact maps containing features as small as 20bp and as large as 200-Mb. Here we introduce Juicebox, a tool for exploring Hi-C and other contact map data. Juicebox allows users to zoom in and out of Hi-C maps interactively, just as a user of Google Earth might zoom in and out of a geographic map. Maps can be compared to one another, or to 1D tracks or 2D feature sets.
