For example, Hi-C experiments generate genome-wide contact frequencies between pairs of loci by sequencing DNA segments ligated from loci in close spatial proximity. One essential task in such studies is peak calling, that is, detecting non-random interactions between loci from the two-dimensional contact frequency matrix. Successful fulfillment of this task has many important implications including identifying long-range interactions that assist interpreting a sizable fraction of the results from genome-wide association studies. The task \u2013 distinguishing biologically meaningful chromatin interactions from massive numbers of random interactions \u2013 poses great challenges both statistically and computationally. Model-based methods to address this challenge are still lacking. In particular, no statistical model exists that takes the underlying dependency structure into consideration.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: In this paper, we propose a hidden Markov random field (HMRF) based Bayesian method to rigorously model interaction probabilities in the two-dimensional space based on the contact frequency matrix. By borrowing information from neighboring loci pairs, our method demonstrates superior reproducibility and statistical power in both simulation studies and real data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: The Source codes can be downloaded at: http:\/\/www.unc.edu\/\u223cyunmli\/HMRFBayesHiC.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0ming.hu@nyumc.org or yunli@med.unc.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv650","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]],"date-time":"2015-11-06T01:34:15Z","timestamp":1446773655000},"page":"650-656","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["A hidden Markov random field-based Bayesian method for the detection of long-range chromosomal interactions in Hi-C data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Zheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics,"},{"name":"2 Department of Genetics,"},{"name":"3 Department of Computer Science,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guosheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Department of Computer Science,"},{"name":"4 Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fulai","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"5 Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 44016,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengjie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics,"},{"name":"2 Department of Genetics,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Terrence S.","family":"Furey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Department of Genetics,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick F.","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Department of Genetics,"},{"name":"6 Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaohui","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"7 Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"8 Division of Biostatistics, Department of Population Health, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biostatistics,"},{"name":"2 Department of Genetics,"},{"name":"3 Department of Computer Science,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020110431594700_btv650-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"999","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.160374.113","article-title":"Statistical confidence estimation for Hi-C data reveals regulatory chromatin contacts","volume":"24","author":"Ay","year":"2014","journal-title":"Genome Res."},{"key":"2023020110431594700_btv650-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1038\/nsmb.1936","article-title":"The three-dimensional folding of the alpha-globin gene domain reveals formation of chromatin globules","volume":"18","author":"Bau","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nat.
