+# Sample configuration file for running FitHiChIP
+#====================================  
+
+##********
+##***** parameters to provide the input HiChIP alignment files
+##********
+
+##============
+## option 1: provide the valid pairs from HiC-Pro pipeline - can be gzipped as well
+##============
+ValidPairs=./TestData/Sample_ValidPairs.txt.gz
+
+##============
+## option 2: provide the bin interval and contact matrix files from HiC-Pro pipeline
+##============
+
+## bin interval file (of the format *_abs.bed from HiC-pro output)
+Interval=
+
+## matrix file (of the format *.matrix from HiC-pro output)
+Matrix=
+
+##============
+## option 3: If HiChIP was processed by aligners other than HiC-Pro
+## a) provide the locus pairs as a .bed formatted file with the following format (7 fields): 
+## chr1 	start1	end1 	chr2 	start2 	end2 	contactcounts
+##============
+Bed=
+
+##============
+## option 4: If HiChIP data is provided in .hic format
+## Make sure that the .hic file contains the target resolution which is provided in the BINSIZE parameter (below)
+##============
+HIC=
+
+##============
+## option 5: If HiChIP data is provided in .cool / .mcool format
+## Make sure that the .cool or .mcool file contains the target resolution which is provided in the BINSIZE parameter (below)
+##============
+COOL=
+
+
+##********
+## File containing chromomosome size information corresponding to the reference genome.
+##********
+ChrSizeFile=./TestData/chrom_hg19.sizes
+
+##********
+## Mandatory parameter - Reference ChIP-seq / HiChIP peaks (in .bed format) - can be gzipped as well
+## We recommend using reference ChIP-seq peaks (if available)
+## Otherwise, peaks can be computed from HiChIP data. 
+## See the documentation: https://ay-lab.github.io/FitHiChIP/usage/Utilities.html#inferring-peaks-from-hichip-data-for-use-in-the-hichip-pipeline

+## Mandatory parameter - Output directory to contain all the results
+##********
+OutDir=./TestData/results/

+##********
+## Mandatory parameter - Boolean variable indicating if the reference genome is circular
+## 0, by default. If 1 (circular genome), calculation of genomic distance is slightly different
+##********
+CircularGenome=0

+##Interaction type
+## 1: peak to peak 
+## 2: peak to non peak 
+## 3: peak to all (default - both peak-to-peak and peak-to-nonpeak)

+## 5: All of the modes 1 to 4 are computed.

+UppDistThr=2000000
+
+## Values 0/1 - Applicable if IntType = 3 (peak to all output interactions)
+## 1 indicates FitHiChIP(S) model - uses only peak to peak loops for background modeling
+## 0 corresponds to FitHiChIP(L) - uses both peak to peak and peak to nonpeak loops for background modeling
+UseP2PBackgrnd=1
+
+## type of bias - values: 1 / 2
+## 1: coverage bias regression
+## 2: ICE bias regression
+BiasType=1
