ssHiCstuff: a package for the design and analysis of ssDNA-specific Hi-C experiments.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
motivationSingle-strand DNA-specific Hi-C (ssHi-C) is a recently developed technique enabling the capture of chromatin interactions involving single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), an intermediate of various DNA metabolic processes. ssHi-C entails the restoration of restriction sites in ssDNA regions of interest upon introduction of designer, internally barcoded "annealing oligonucleotides" prior to the restriction digestion step of Hi-C. The design of these "annealing oligonucleotides," as well as the analysis of the resulting ssHi-C data presents specific challenges, such as (i) differentiating ssDNA from dsDNA-derived contacts, (ii) tracking probe-specific interactions, and (iii) calibrating the amount of ssDNA contacts across biological samples. Dedicated computational tools are therefore needed to facilitate the design of, and extract biological information from, ssHi-C experiments.
resultsWe present ssHiCstuff, a Rust- and Python-based package for the design of key reagents for ssHi-C experiments and for the analysis of ssHi-C data. ssHiCstuff provides (i) an automated annealing oligonucleotides design module, (ii) an end-to-end analyses pipeline, and (iii) a graphical user interface. ssHiCstuff simplifies the high-resolution analysis of ssDNA interactions at genome-wide scale. A graphical user interface (GUI) implemented in Python is also available for biologists without coding skills.
