GraphCrunch: a tool for large network analyses.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The spatial configuration of chromosomes is essential to various cellular processes, notably gene regulation, while architecture related alterations, such as translocations and gene fusions, are often cancer drivers. Thus, eliciting chromatin conformation is important, yet challenging due to compaction, dyna...
