Description

Build a concise v7 methods/background slide explaining what we had to do to make the Hi-C / Pore-C / CiFi / Dip-C validation work in subtelomeric repeats. This must run before review-zoom-v7-fanin-render and produce slide-ready material for fan-in.\n\nUser intent:\n- The deck needs to say that the 3D validation required reanalysis of the contact data because standard MAPQ filtering is biased for subtelomeric PHRs.\n- We need MAPQ=0 reads because the signal lives in repetitive subtelomeric DNA; throwing them away discards the data we need.\n- But we do not duplicate multimappers across all possible placements. We handle them carefully: each multimapped read/segment keeps exactly one primary/randomly chosen alignment, adding symmetric noise rather than systematic double-counting.\n\nCanonical report anchors to verify and cite:\n- end-to-end-report/report/05_hic_validation.md, especially Multi-mapping handling lines: Hi-C MIN_MAPQ=0 and RM_MULTI=0; Bowtie2 default no -k/--all; Pore-C/CiFi minimap2 default one primary alignment; no min-mapq filter; consequence is one randomly/arbitrarily chosen placement for equally good subtelomeric mappings.\n- end-to-end-report/report/06_dipc_validation.md: MAPQ=0 throughout sam2seg -q 0 / hickit --min-mapq=0; default MAPQ >=20 would discard 60-99% of subtelomeric reads; BWA-MEM2 reports one primary alignment per read.\n- end-to-end-report/report/07_integrated.md and report/10_limitations.md: flanking unique-sequence control / flanking paradox; signal persists and is stronger in flanking regions, so multimapping is not driving the result, while PHR pair-level contacts remain noisy.\n- subtelomeric_analysis_report.md sections around Hi-C validation, Dip-C, flanking controls, and limitations.\n\nSlide content target:\n- One slide titled something like 'Making Hi-C work at subtelomeric repeats'.\n- A simple 3-step visual/flow:\n 1. Standard unique-map filtering fails here: MAPQ >=20 / removing multimappers deletes most subtelomeric signal.\n 2. Reanalyze with MAPQ=0 and retain multimappers as one primary/randomly chosen placement per read/segment, not all placements.\n 3. Interpret aggregate community signal, not individual repetitive pair contacts; validate with flanking unique-sequence controls and O/E/contact normalization.\n- Include a small plain-language caveat: MAPQ0 adds symmetric noise; it does not support precise pair-level claims in PHR repeats.\n- Include the key phrase that the original standard filtering was biased by ignoring MAPQ0 reads.\n\nDeliverables:\n- README with exact report citations/line anchors and wording constraints.\n- A slide-ready figure or text asset under slides/v2-review-zoom/_revision_assets/v7/hic_mapq0_methods/.\n- SLIDE_PATCH.md telling review-zoom-v7-fanin-render exactly where to insert the slide, likely before the first Hi-C/3D validation slide.\n\nDo not make final deck integration changes; leave that to review-zoom-v7-fanin-render.
