edges
¶ Iterate over contacts / edges.
edges()
is the central function ofRegionPairsContainer
. Here, we will use theHic
implementation for demonstration purposes, but the usage is exactly the same for all compatible objects implementingRegionPairsContainer
, includingJuicerHic
andCoolerHic
.import fanc # file from FAN-C examples hic = fanc.load("output/hic/binned/fanc_example_1mb.hic")
We can easily find the number of edges in the sample
Hic
object:len(hic.edges) # 8695
When used in an iterator context,
edges()
iterates over all edges in theRegionPairsContainer
:for edge in hic.edges: # do something with edge print(edge) # 42--42; bias: 5.797788472650082e-05; sink_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; source_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; weight: 0.12291311562018173 # 24--28; bias: 6.496381719803623e-05; sink_node: chr18:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:24000001-25000000; weight: 0.025205961072838057 # 5--76; bias: 0.00010230955745211447; sink_node: chr18:76000001-77000000; source_node: chr18:5000001-6000000; weight: 0.00961709840049876 # 66--68; bias: 8.248432587969082e-05; sink_node: chr18:68000001-69000000; source_node: chr18:66000001-67000000; weight: 0.03876763316345468 # ...
Calling
edges()
as a method has the same effect:# note the '()' for edge in hic.edges(): # do something with edge print(edge) # 42--42; bias: 5.797788472650082e-05; sink_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; source_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; weight: 0.12291311562018173 # 24--28; bias: 6.496381719803623e-05; sink_node: chr18:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:24000001-25000000; weight: 0.025205961072838057 # 5--76; bias: 0.00010230955745211447; sink_node: chr18:76000001-77000000; source_node: chr18:5000001-6000000; weight: 0.00961709840049876 # 66--68; bias: 8.248432587969082e-05; sink_node: chr18:68000001-69000000; source_node: chr18:66000001-67000000; weight: 0.03876763316345468 # ...
Rather than iterate over all edges in the object, we can select only a subset. If the key is a string or a
GenomicRegion
, all non-zero edges connecting the region described by the key to any other region are returned. If the key is a tuple of strings orGenomicRegion
, only edges between the two regions are returned.# select all edges between chromosome 19 # and any other region: for edge in hic.edges("chr19"): print(edge) # 49--106; bias: 0.00026372303696871666; sink_node: chr19:27000001-28000000; source_node: chr18:49000001-50000000; weight: 0.003692122517562033 # 6--82; bias: 0.00021923129703834945; sink_node: chr19:3000001-4000000; source_node: chr18:6000001-7000000; weight: 0.0008769251881533978 # 47--107; bias: 0.00012820949175399097; sink_node: chr19:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:47000001-48000000; weight: 0.0015385139010478917 # 38--112; bias: 0.0001493344481069762; sink_node: chr19:33000001-34000000; source_node: chr18:38000001-39000000; weight: 0.0005973377924279048 # ... # select all edges that are only on # chromosome 19 for edge in hic.edges(('chr19', 'chr19')): print(edge) # 90--116; bias: 0.00021173151730025176; sink_node: chr19:37000001-38000000; source_node: chr19:11000001-12000000; weight: 0.009104455243910825 # 135--135; bias: 0.00018003890596887822; sink_node: chr19:56000001-57000000; source_node: chr19:56000001-57000000; weight: 0.10028167062466517 # 123--123; bias: 0.00011063368998965993; sink_node: chr19:44000001-45000000; source_node: chr19:44000001-45000000; weight: 0.1386240135570439 # 92--93; bias: 0.00040851066434864896; sink_node: chr19:14000001-15000000; source_node: chr19:13000001-14000000; weight: 0.10090213409411629 # ... # select inter-chromosomal edges # between chromosomes 18 and 19 for edge in hic.edges(('chr18', 'chr19')): print(edge) # 49--106; bias: 0.00026372303696871666; sink_node: chr19:27000001-28000000; source_node: chr18:49000001-50000000; weight: 0.003692122517562033 # 6--82; bias: 0.00021923129703834945; sink_node: chr19:3000001-4000000; source_node: chr18:6000001-7000000; weight: 0.0008769251881533978 # 47--107; bias: 0.00012820949175399097; sink_node: chr19:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:47000001-48000000; weight: 0.0015385139010478917 # 38--112; bias: 0.0001493344481069762; sink_node: chr19:33000001-34000000; source_node: chr18:38000001-39000000; weight: 0.0005973377924279048 # ...
By default,
edges()
will retrieve all edge attributes, which can be slow when iterating over a lot of edges. This is why all file-based FAN-CRegionPairsContainer
objects support lazy loading, where attributes are only read on demand.for edge in hic.edges('chr18', lazy=True): print(edge.source, edge.sink, edge.weight, edge) # 42 42 0.12291311562018173 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #0> # 24 28 0.025205961072838057 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #1> # 5 76 0.00961709840049876 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #2> # 66 68 0.03876763316345468 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #3> # ...
Warning
The lazy iterator reuses the
LazyEdge
object in every iteration, and overwrites theLazyEdge
attributes. Therefore do not use lazy iterators if you need to store edge objects for later access. For example, the following code works as expectedlist(hic.edges())
, with allEdge
objects stored in the list, while this codelist(hic.edges(lazy=True))
will result in a list of identicalLazyEdge
objects. Always ensure you do all edge processing in the loop when working with lazy iterators!When working with normalised contact frequencies, such as obtained through matrix balancing in the example above,
edges()
automatically returns normalised edge weights. In addition, thebias
attribute will (typically) have a value different from 1.When you are interested in the raw contact frequency, use the
norm=False
parameter:for edge in hic.edges('chr18', lazy=True, norm=False): print(edge.source, edge.sink, edge.weight) # 42 42 2120.0 # 24 28 388.0 # 5 76 94.0 # 66 68 470.0 # ...
You can also choose to omit all intra- or inter-chromosomal edges using
intra_chromosomal=False
orinter_chromosomal=False
, respectively.Returns: Iterator over Edge

edges
¶ Iterate over contacts / edges.
edges()
is the central function ofRegionPairsContainer
. Here, we will use theHic
implementation for demonstration purposes, but the usage is exactly the same for all compatible objects implementingRegionPairsContainer
, includingJuicerHic
andCoolerHic
.import fanc # file from FAN-C examples hic = fanc.load("output/hic/binned/fanc_example_1mb.hic")
We can easily find the number of edges in the sample
Hic
object:len(hic.edges) # 8695
When used in an iterator context,
edges()
iterates over all edges in theRegionPairsContainer
:for edge in hic.edges: # do something with edge print(edge) # 42--42; bias: 5.797788472650082e-05; sink_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; source_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; weight: 0.12291311562018173 # 24--28; bias: 6.496381719803623e-05; sink_node: chr18:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:24000001-25000000; weight: 0.025205961072838057 # 5--76; bias: 0.00010230955745211447; sink_node: chr18:76000001-77000000; source_node: chr18:5000001-6000000; weight: 0.00961709840049876 # 66--68; bias: 8.248432587969082e-05; sink_node: chr18:68000001-69000000; source_node: chr18:66000001-67000000; weight: 0.03876763316345468 # ...

as a method has the same effect:# note the '()' for edge in hic.edges(): # do something with edge print(edge) # 42--42; bias: 5.797788472650082e-05; sink_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; source_node: chr18:42000001-43000000; weight: 0.12291311562018173 # 24--28; bias: 6.496381719803623e-05; sink_node: chr18:28000001-29000000; source_node: chr18:24000001-25000000; weight: 0.025205961072838057 # 5--76; bias: 0.00010230955745211447; sink_node: chr18:76000001-77000000; source_node: chr18:5000001-6000000; weight: 0.00961709840049876 # 66--68; bias: 8.248432587969082e-05; sink_node: chr18:68000001-69000000; source_node: chr18:66000001-67000000; weight: 0.03876763316345468 # ...
Rather than iterate over all edges in the object, we can select only a subset. If the key is a string or a
GenomicRegion

By default,
edges()
will retrieve all edge attributes, which can be slow when iterating over a lot of edges. This is why all file-based FAN-CRegionPairsContainer
objects support lazy loading, where attributes are only read on demand.for edge in hic.edges('chr18', lazy=True): print(edge.source, edge.sink, edge.weight, edge) # 42 42 0.12291311562018173 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #0> # 24 28 0.025205961072838057 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #1> # 5 76 0.00961709840049876 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #2> # 66 68 0.03876763316345468 <fanc.matrix.LazyEdge for row /edges/chrpair_0_0.row (Row), pointing to row #3> # ...
Warning
The lazy iterator reuses the
LazyEdge
object in every iteration, and overwrites theLazyEdge
attributes. Therefore do not use lazy iterators if you need to store edge objects for later access. For example, the following code works as expectedlist(hic.edges())
, with allEdge
objects stored in the list, while this codelist(hic.edges(lazy=True))
will result in a list of identicalLazyEdge
objects. Always ensure you do all edge processing in the loop when working with lazy iterators!When working with normalised contact frequencies, such as obtained through matrix balancing in the example above,
edges()
automatically returns normalised edge weights. In addition, thebias
attribute will (typically) have a value different from 1.When you are interested in the raw contact frequency, use the
norm=False
parameter:for edge in hic.edges('chr18', lazy=True, norm=False): print(edge.source, edge.sink, edge.weight) # 42 42 2120.0 # 24 28 388.0 # 5 76 94.0 # 66 68 470.0 # ...
You can also choose to omit all intra- or inter-chromosomal edges using
intra_chromosomal=False
orinter_chromosomal=False
, respectively.Returns: Iterator over Edge
or equivalent.
