Hi-C, developed from 3C, identifies long-range genomic interactions.  The Hi-C protocol involves formaldehyde-fixing cells to create DNA-protein bonds that cross-link interacting DNA loci.  The DNA is then digested and ligated to generate a library of products that were spatially close to each other in the nucleus.

HiCUP is designed to take the raw sequence output from a HiC experiment and produce a filtered set of mapped interaction pairs, suitable for subsequent analysis. It will also produce a set of metrics which can be used to assess the quality of the data and help improve the construction of future libraries.
