If some of your loops are too close to ends of the chromosomes (so that the snippet with the loop would extend beyond the start/end of the chromosome), they will also be ignored. Maybe that's the reason?
Wow, thanks for your quick reply.
If I want to compare the loop strengths of the two groups, would choosing the default --mindist
(2*pad+2) and one of the BALANCE methods (GW_SCALE, KR, SCALE, VC, VC_SQRT, weight) be the best match?
Generally mindist can be set to 0 in practice, in most datasets just --ignore-diags 2 is good enough to remove very short range artifacts. If your data can't support that you'll see some noise in the bottom left corner of the pileup.
Assuming by "weight" you mean the output of cooler balance
, it's the safest option. Default filters in cooler remove more artefacts, while juicer is very lenient and a lot of bins with extreme coverage variation are retained.
Also, fyi, when looking into loops, using mapq>30 filtering is quite important.

Hi, a small question.
The size of the loops in my input bedpe file ranges from 20kb to 2Mb, I have set
--mindist
to 0, why is theTotal number of piled up windows
still less than the number of loops. How to plot a piled up graph using all the loops?thanks.
