RESUMEN
HiChIP enables cost-effective and high-resolution profiling of regulatory and structural loops. To leverage the increasing number of publicly available HiChIP datasets from diverse cell lines and primary cells, we developed the Loop Catalog (https://loopcatalog.lji.org), a web-based database featuring HiChIP loop calls for 1319 samples across 133 studies and 44 high-resolution Hi-C loop calls. We demonstrate its utility in interpreting fine-mapped GWAS variants (SNP-to-gene linking), in identifying enriched sequence motifs and motif pairs at loop anchors, and in network-level analysis of loops connecting regulatory elements (community detection). Our comprehensive catalog, spanning over 4M unique 5kb loops, along with the accompanying analysis modalities constitutes an important resource for studies in gene regulation and genome organization.
