Designs pegRNAs and nicking guides for prime editing (PE) -- choosing the nick/strand, tuning the primer-binding site (PBS) and reverse-transcription template (RTT) as a per-locus panel, selecting the PE system (PE2/PE3/PE3b/PE4/PE5/PEmax/PE7), adding MMR-evading and PAM-disrupting silent edits, appending epegRNA 3' motifs (tevopreQ1/mpknot), and ranking with PRIDICT/DeepPrime. Covers twinPE/PASTE for large insertions and the prime-vs-base-editing decision. Use when designing a scarless point mutation, small insertion/deletion, or any of the 12 base conversions without a double-strand break, when efficiency is low and MMR inhibition or pegRNA stabilization is needed, or when routing a large insertion to an integrase method.

Detects focal chromatin loops (point interactions / corner-dots) in balanced Hi-C and Micro-C contact maps and aggregates/validates a loop set. Covers de-novo calling with cooltools dots (HiCCUPS-style 4-background local enrichment with lambda-chunked FDR), chromosight (template-correlation), and Mustache (scale-space blob detection); aggregate peak analysis (APA) via cooltools pileup for confirmation; the depth/resolution prerequisite (de-novo needs ~5-10kb resolution = hundreds of millions to billions of valid pairs); consensus across callers and convergent-CTCF support as validation; and differential loops via union anchors plus chromosight quantify. Use when calling chromatin loops or dots from a cooler, deciding whether a map is deep enough to call de-novo vs running APA on known CTCF/cohesin anchors, building an aggregate peak pileup, comparing loops across conditions, or validating loop calls. For HiChIP/PLAC-seq/PCHi-C protein-anchored data use FitHiChIP/MAPS, not dots.

Designs genomics experiments so technical nuisance variation (batch, lane, plate, flow cell, operator, reagent lot, processing day) is balanced against the biological variable of interest and therefore estimable rather than confounded, using constrained sample-to-batch assignment (designit, OSAT), the confounder/mediator/collider distinction, and the principle that no post-hoc correction recovers a fully confounded design. Covers detecting hidden batches with surrogate variable analysis, a decision table for downstream correction (ComBat-seq, RUVSeq, SVA) whose execution is deferred to differential-expression/batch-correction, and reproducibility metadata. Use when assigning samples to sequencing batches/lanes/plates, avoiding batch-condition confounding, deciding whether a design is salvageable by correction, choosing a correction method, or estimating the number of hidden batches.

Covers paired vs unpaired vs interaction designs, batch confounding (antibody lot, RNA prep, sequencing run) and the per-lot meta-analysis strategy when exomePeak2 is the primary caller, the stoichiometry-vs-expression-vs-IP-efficiency confound that all MeRIP differential methods inherit, normalisation choice (size factor on IP, on input, on per-sample IP/input ratio), the McIntyre 2020 reproducibility caveat, effect-size filtering as a guardrail against under-powered N=2 designs, and orthogonal-validation routes for absolute stoichiometry (GLORI / SAC-seq / m6Anet `mod_ratio`).
