Understanding chromatin interactions is important since they create chromosome conformation and link the cis- and trans-regulatory elements to their target genes for transcriptional regulation. Chromatin Interaction Analysis with Paired-End Tag (ChIA-PET) sequencing is a genome-wide high-throughput technology that detects chromatin interactions associated with a specific protein of interest. Previously we developed ChIA-PET Tool in 2010 for ChIA-PET data analysis. Here we present the updated version of ChIA-PET Tool (V3), is a computational package to process the next-generation sequence data generated from ChIA-PET experiments. It processes the short-read data and long-read ChIA-PET data with multithreading and generates the statistics of results in a HTML file. In this paper, we provide a detailed demonstration of the design of ChIA-PET Tool V3 and how to install it and analyze a specific ChIA-PET data set with it. At present, other ChIA-PET data analysis tools have developed including ChiaSig, MICC, Mango and ChIA-PET2 and so on. We compared our tool with other tools using the same public data set in the same machine. Most of peaks detected by ChIA-PET Tool V3 overlap with those from other tools. There is higher enrichment for significant chromatin interactions of ChIA-PET Tool V3 in APA plot. ChIA-PET Tool V3 is open source and is available at GitHub ( https://github.com/GuoliangLi-HZAU/ChIA-PET_Tool_V3/ ).
