Overview
OpenMiChroM is a Python library for performing chromatin dynamics simulations and analyses. Open-MiChroM uses the OpenMM Python API employing the MiChroM (Minimal Chromatin Model) energy function. The chromatin dynamics simulations generate an ensemble of 3D chromosomal structures that are consistent with experimental Hi-C maps. OpenMiChroM also allows simulations of a single or multiple chromosome chain using High-Performance Computing in different platforms (GPUs and CPUs).
The chromatin dynamics simulations can be performed for different human cell lines, cell phases (interphase to metaphase), and different organisms from DNAzoo. Chromatin subcompartment annotations are available at the NDB (Nucleome Data Bank).
Open-MiChroM package receives the chromatin sequence of compartments and subcompartments as input to create and simulate a chromosome polymer model. Examples of running the simulations and generating the in silico Hi-C maps can be found here

Installation
The OpenMiChroM library can be installed via conda or pip, or compiled from source.

Install via conda
The code below will install OpenMiChroM from conda-forge.
conda install -c conda-forge OpenMiChroM

Hint
Often, the installation via conda happens to be stuck. If this is the case, it is recommended to update conda/anaconda using the command line below and try to install OpenMiChroM again.

conda update --prefix /path/to/anaconda3/ anaconda

Install via pip
The code below will install OpenMiChroM from PyPI.
pip install OpenMiChroM
The OpenMiChroM library uses OpenMM API to run the chromatin dynamics simulations.
These requirements can be met by installing the OpenMM package from the conda-forge channel:
conda install -c conda-forge openmm
