Abstract: Current technologies, noteworthy Hi-C, for chromosome conformation capture allow to understand a broad spectrum of functional interactions between genome elements. Although significant progress has been made, there are still a lot of open questions regarding best approaches for analysis of Hi-C data to identify biologically significant features. In this paper we approach this problem by focusing strictly on the topological properties of Hi-C interaction graphs. Graph topological properties were analysed from the perspective of two research questions: 1) are topological properties alone able to distinguish between different cell types and assign biologically meaningful distances between them; 2) what is a typical structure of Hi-C interaction graphs and can we assign a biological significance to structural elements or features? The analysis was applied to a set of Hi-C interactions in 17 human haematopoietic cell types. Promising results have been obtained at answering both questions. Firstly, we propose a concrete set Base11 of 11 topology-based metrics that provide good discriminatory power between cell types. Secondly, we have explored the topological features of connected components of Hi-C interaction graphs and demonstrate that such components tend to be well conserved within particular cell type subgroups and can be well associated with known biological processes.
