Abstract

The high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technique is a useful technique to obtain the three-dimensional conformation and information of chromatin in the nucleus. However,the development of Hi-C is limited by data resolution. In this paper, we present a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) model HiC-GAN to imporove the resolution of Hi-C data. The proposed model is capable to generate Hi-C interaction matrices with four-time-higher resolution, where the accuracy of reconstruction can be guaranteed at around 90%. The model can not only perform well within the same cell, but also be applied to other cells of different types and species. Besides, experiments show that the model can also be used to reconstruct data with low-sequence depth and different value of resolution.
