epiTAD: a web application for visualizing chromosome conformation capture data in the context of genetic epidemiology

Summary: Complementary advances in genomic technology and public data resources have created opportunities for researchers to conduct multifaceted examination of the genome on a large scale. To meet the need for integrative genome wide exploration, we present epiTAD. This web-based tool enables researchers to compare genomic 3D organization and annotations across multiple databases in an interactive manner to facilitate in silico discovery.

Availability and implementation: epiTAD can be accessed at https://apps.gerkelab.com/epiTAD/ where we have additionally made publicly available the source code and a Docker containerized version of the application.
