As technology becomes more sophisticated, higher-and-higher resolution data are being produced, going from the initial 1 Megabases (Mb) resolution to the current 10 Kilobases (Kb) or even 1 Kb resolution. The availability of genome-wide interaction data necessitates development of analytical methods to recover the underlying 3D spatial chromatin structure, but challenges abound. Most of the methods were proposed for analyzing data at low resolution (1 Mb). Their behaviors are thus unknown for higher resolution data. For such data, one of the key features is the high proportion of \u201c0\u201d contact counts among all available data, in other words, the excess of zeros.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>To address the issue of excess of zeros, in this paper, we propose a truncated Random effect EXpression (tREX) method that can handle data at various resolutions. We then assess the performance of tREX and a number of leading existing methods for recovering the underlying chromatin 3D structure. This was accomplished by creating in-silico data to mimic multiple levels of resolution and submit the methods to a \u201cstress test\u201d. Finally, we applied tREX and the comparison methods to a Hi-C dataset for which FISH measurements are available to evaluate estimation accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The proposed tREX method achieves consistently good performance in all 30 simulated settings considered. It is not only robust to resolution level and underlying parameters, but also insensitive to model misspecification. This conclusion is based on observations made in terms of 3D structure estimation accuracy and preservation of topologically associated domains. Application of the methods to the human lymphoblastoid cell line data on chromosomes 14 and 22 further substantiates the superior performance of tREX: the constructed 3D structure from tREX is consistent with the FISH measurements, and the corresponding distances predicted by tREX have higher correlation with the FISH measurements than any of the comparison methods.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Software<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>An open-source R-package is available at <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.stat.osu.edu\/~statgen\/Software\/tRex\">http:\/\/www.stat.osu.edu\/~statgen\/Software\/tRex<\/jats:ext-link>.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-016-0894-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,6]],"date-time":"2016-02-06T04:39:43Z","timestamp":1454733583000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Impact of data resolution on three-dimensional structure inference methods"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jincheol","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Shili","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5950","key":"894_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1181369","volume":"326","author":"E Lieberman-Aiden","year":"2009","unstructured":"Lieberman-Aiden E, van Berkum NL, Williams L, Imakaev M, Ragoczy T, Telling A, et al.Comprehensive mapping of long-range interactions reveals folding principles of the human genome.
