Show abstract
Single-cell 3D genome mapping offers insights into chromatin architecture, yet the inherent sparsity and high dimensionality of contact maps hinder reliable identification of chromatin loops at the single-cell level. Here, we present CellLoop, a single-cell chromatin loop detection algorithm based on a density-based center detection framework that integrates intra-cellular and neighboring inter-cellular contacts via a re-voting strategy. Applied to Dip-C data from the mouse brain, CellLoop demonstrates superior accuracy based on the genome spatial distance and compartment signals at the single-cell level. It reveals cell-specific chromatin loops linked to transcriptional regulation and improved cell state classification. In HiRES embryogenesis data, CellLoop refines cell subtype definitions by minimizing cell cycle effects. Integrating GAGE-seq with MERFISH in mouse cortex, CellLoop redefines spatial domain functions through chromatin loop dynamics. Together, CellLoop enables robust, scalable, and biologically meaningful single-cell chromatin loop detection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
