Pairs File ========== An intermediate file created by the pipeline when looking at the contacts between each pairs of genes. It is created by the script :doc:`make_pairs.py `. It is a tabulated-separated values file, usually gzipped. There is no header row. Each rows corresponds to a pair of genes. Then, the columns are the following: * the name for the first gene of the pair, a string, * the name for the second gene of the pair, a string, * the Hi-C value (*i.e.* the corrected and normalized number of contacts) for these genes, a floating-point number, * the adjacency status, *i.e.* if these genes are next to each other along the chromosome, a boolean value (either True or False, case-insensitive).
