5c Analysis tool

hi,

I am very new to chromosome conformation capture data and have received multiple samples 5C data. I had gone through HiFive (couldn't understand the fragment input) and HiTC package. Gone through the thread Hic, most of the tools are for Hic data. Is there a pipeline or tool for analysis from fastq to interaction point identification with some good visualization.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

This requires following tools to be installed on your system,

  • Java tree view
  • circos
  • R
  • Cytoscape

thanks for the reply. This is for HiC, would it work for 5C data as well because i have the data for 5C method

In my opinion the tools used for HiC data can handle 5C too. Please also refer following articles and see if you can get some idea about the analysis.
