Three-dimensional (3D) genome structure plays crucial roles in biological processes and disease pathogenesis. Hi-C and Micro-C, well-established methods for 3D genome analysis, can identify a variety of 3D genome structures. However, selecting appropriate pipelines and tools for the analysis and setting up the required computing environment can sometimes pose challenges. To address this, we have introduced CustardPy, a Docker-based pipeline specifically designed for 3D genome analysis. CustardPy is designed to compare and evaluate multiple samples and wraps several existing tools to cover the entire workflow from FASTQ mapping to visualization. In this chapter, we demonstrate how to analyze and visualize Hi-C data using CustardPy and introduce several 3D genome features observed in Hi-C data.
