Juicer is a platform for analyzing kilobase resolution Hi-C data. In this distribution, we include the pipeline for generating Hi-C maps from fastq raw data files and command line tools for feature annotation on the Hi-C maps.

• Version: 1.6
• Added: January, 2021
• Link: https://github.com/aidenlab/juicer

See which versions of juicer are available:

$ module avail juicer

Load one version into your environment and run it:

$ module load juicer/1.6
$ juicer.sh -h

Testing juicer with the included sample data:

$ module load juicer/1.6
$ mkdir -p 2021-01-18-juicer/fastq
$ cd 2021-01-18-juicer/fastq
$ wget http://juicerawsmirror.s3.amazonaws.com/opt/juicer/work/HIC003/fastq/HIC003_S2_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz http://juicerawsmirror.s3.amazonaws.com/opt/juicer/work/HIC003/fastq/HIC003_S2_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz
$ cd -
$ juicer.sh -d ~/2021-01-18-juicer

Note 1: There are several modifications we need to do to get juicer.sh to run on our cluster. First, the addition of a check to see if it is running at ILRI versus Aiden lab, and second to remove the SBATCH memory options because we don't use those on our cluster.
