Hello,
      I was wondering if there is a way to increase the number of domains called by arrowhead. I make sure that at least 80% rows of the matrix have more than 1000 contacts at 10k resolution. 
      I generated a hicfile and used the arrowhead to get contact domains. However, when I set the parameters : -m 2000 -r 10000 -k KR  ,  I only got 1680 domains in the whole genome,
when use the juicebox to visualize the them .  It seems like there should be many more domains but the arrowhead method didn't get them .
      Thus, I wonder how to tune the parameter to get more contact domains.



Any advice on how to increase the number of domains would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dachang

Hey Dachang,

Have you tried running Arrowhead on the mapq0 hic map?

Best,

Hi Shamim,
   
    My hic map is built on mapq0. And I tried to use parameters :  -m 2000 -r 25000 -k KR, and then got 4007 contact domain. 
    So, I want to know why would this happen. I guess it's related to the contacts in the Hi-C map and the parameter for domain calling, such as s the  thresholds of sign and varience.
So I can change the -r paramter to tune the contacts in the map but how can I tune the parameters for domain calling?
    Besides,  what's the relationship of the contact domain called in different resolution ( different parameter  -r  ) and how to choose a suitable resolution to call contact domains?

Best,
Dachang
