How to convert a HG19 Hi-C hic file to HG38?

Hi,

I have a Hi-C hic file associated with the HG19 genome. How can I convert it to HG38?
I have looked at Juicer Tools dump, but it looks as though you can only extract data to a sparse format for individual, or pairs of, chromosomes.
Ideally I want to be able to extract the data to a non-binary format, convert it to HG38 (possibly via crossover), then recreate the hic file.

Has anyone done this?

Thank you.

You can use HiCLift to convert genome assemblies of chromatin concat data (.hic or .cool).
