TADMaster: A Comprehensive Web-based Tool for the Analysis of Topologically Associated Domains

The groundbreaking work by Dixon et al., 2012 revealed the existence of regions with more within-interaction or self-interacting regions called Topologically Associated Domains. Topological associated domains, or TADs, are regions where interactions occur much more frequently than with outside regions (Figure Above).
