We used ICE-normalized interaction matrices at 500-kb resolution to detect chromatin compartment types by R-package HiTC36. Positive or negative values of the first principal component separate chromatin regions into two spatially segregated compartments. The compartment with higher gene density was assigned as A compartments, and the other compartment was assigned as B compartment16.
