Capture Hi-C is a set of techniques that enable the detection of genomic interactions involving regions of interest, known as baits. By focusing on selected loci, these approaches reduce sequencing costs while maintaining high resolution at the level of restriction fragments. HiCaptuRe provides tools to import, annotate, manipulate, and export Capture Hi-C data. The package accounts for the specific structure of bait–otherEnd interactions, facilitates integration with other omics datasets, and enables comparison across samples and conditions.

EpiCompare is used to compare and analyse epigenetic datasets for quality control and benchmarking purposes. The package outputs an HTML report consisting of three sections: (1. General metrics) Metrics on peaks (percentage of blacklisted and non-standard peaks, and peak widths) and fragments (duplication rate) of samples, (2. Peak overlap) Percentage and statistical significance of overlapping and non-overlapping peaks. Also includes upset plot and (3. Functional annotation) functional annotation (ChromHMM, ChIPseeker and enrichment analysis) of peaks. Also includes peak enrichment around TSS.

COCOA is a method for understanding epigenetic variation among samples. COCOA can be used with epigenetic data that includes genomic coordinates and an epigenetic signal, such as DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility data. To describe the method on a high level, COCOA quantifies inter-sample variation with either a supervised or unsupervised technique then uses a database of "region sets" to annotate the variation among samples. A region set is a set of genomic regions that share a biological annotation, for instance transcription factor (TF) binding regions, histone modification regions, or open chromatin regions. COCOA can identify region sets that are associated with epigenetic variation between samples and increase understanding of variation in your data.

AlphaBeta is a computational method for estimating epimutation rates and spectra from high-throughput DNA methylation data in plants. The method has been specifically designed to: 1. analyze 'germline' epimutations in the context of multi-generational mutation accumulation lines (MA-lines). 2. analyze 'somatic' epimutations in the context of plant development and aging.
