The 4dgbworkflow is a workflow that takes user input data and creates a 4D dataset and a 4D Genome Browser for that data.

The 4DGB workflow is a python script that manages a complex workflow of steps that take a user’s input data (.hic, .gff, etc.) and transforms that data into an interactive visualization of 4D genomic data.

The tool’s set of operations is packaged in a Docker executable, which means the tools can be run on all operating systems, as long as Docker is present.

To get started, both python and Docker must be installed.

  • Docker instructions

  • python v3.x can be installed in many ways, and is likely already part of your system’s software.
