title: 'loopQTL: Anchor-Restricted Loop QTL Mapping from Hi-C'
version: 0.99.0
abstract: Maps chromatin loop QTLs by testing whether genotype at a loop's anchors
  associates with the loop's contact strength across samples. Reads .hic files via
  strawr, builds an exact-coordinate consensus loop set, normalizes contact strength
  across samples via band-wise quantile normalization in the style of BNBC (implemented
  on top of preprocessCore), and runs anchor-restricted SNP-by-loop regressions with
  MatrixEQTL. Intra-chromosomal loops only; no FDR or lead-SNP selection (left to
  the user).
