how to load bed file using higlass-python

[smitkadvani]

Description:

When I try to load a bedfile using the following code:

import higlass as hg
ts3 = hg.bed2ddb('Regular/H3K27ac_EA92-97_peaks.xls.bed.beddb')

hg.view(
    hg.track("top-axis"),
    ts3.track("chromosome-labels"),
    ts3.track("horizontal-bar"),
)

File "/Users/smit/anaconda3/envs/3dfolding/lib/python3.11/site-packages/higlass/tilesets.py", line 46, in tiles
return self._tiles(tile_ids)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/smit/anaconda3/envs/3dfolding/lib/python3.11/site-packages/clodius/tiles/bed2ddb.py", line 41, in tiles
return tiles_1d(filepath, tile_ids)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/smit/anaconda3/envs/3dfolding/lib/python3.11/site-packages/clodius/tiles/bed2ddb.py", line 64, in tiles_1d
to_return += [(tile_id, get_1d_tiles(filepath, int(z), int(x))[int(x)])]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/smit/anaconda3/envs/3dfolding/lib/python3.11/site-packages/clodius/tiles/bed2ddb.py", line 117, in get_1d_tiles
rows = c.execute(query).fetchall()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: fromX

While debugging, I reviewed the clodius repository in the aggregate.py file and found out that the _bedpe format uses the fromX column. As a result, my beddb file doesn't have this column information.

Direct reference:
aggregate.py#L346

However, hg.bed2ddb is expecting the 'fromX' column name.

Command to convert bed file to bed2d format:

clodius aggregate bedfile --chromsizes-filename ../CUT-Tag_NIPBL/CUT-Tag_NIPBL-FKBP-EA18.1/mm10.size.txt Regular/H3K27ac_EA92-97_peaks.xls.bed
