sparse2full {HiCcompare} | R Documentation

## Transform a sparse upper triangular matrix to a full Hi-C contact matrix

### Description

sparse2full will transform a sparse upper triangular Hi-C matrix to a full Hi-C chromatin contact matrix. If you are entering a simple sparse matrix, i.e. there are only 3 columns leave hic.table = FALSE and column.name = NA. If you wish to transform a Hi-C matrix in hic.table object format into a full matrix then set hic.table = TRUE. You will then need to specify the column name that you wish to be entered as the values for the cells in the full matrix using the column.name option.

### Usage

    sparse2full(sparse.mat, hic.table = FALSE, column.name = NA)

### Arguments

`sparse.mat` | A matrix in sparse upper triangular format.
`hic.table` | Logical, is your sparse.mat a hic.table?
`column.name` | Character, Required if hic.table set to TRUE; The column name of the hic.table that you want placed into the cells of the full matrix. i.e. IF1, or p.value.

### Value

A full Hi-C contact Matrix.

### Examples

    data('NHEK.chr22')
    full.mat <- sparse2full(NHEK.chr22)
