Why Robin?¶
Chromosome loop analysis has emerged in the interest of researchers in recent years.
Recently, our lab published a comparative study, Chowdhury et al. 2024, where we compared different types of loop caller tools: Comparative study on chromatin loop callers using Hi-C data reveals their effectiveness
Since we published this comparative study, Chowdhury et al. 2024, there has been much demand for the code and for a ready-to-use on-the-go platform to reproduce the analysis results for future loop caller analysis.
Hence, we propose Robin to meet this demand.
- Robin has been developed to serve as a reliable and easy to use platform that fulfills the need for a comparable and powerful loop caller analysis tool. The plots created by Robin for analysis are of good quality and are publication ready. Overall, Robin is:
User-friendly and easy to use with a modern web interface.
Removes boilerplate codes for different analyses.
Provides downloadable high-resolution plots.
Provides ready-to-use plots for loop caller analysis such as Overlap, Regression, and Recovery plots.
HiGlass integrated to visualize the loop caller results with different ChIP signals.
LLM integrated that allows the users to generate more plots with their needs using the uploaded data.
