Over the last decade, development and application of a set of molecular genomic approaches based on the chromosome conformation capture method (3C), combined with increasingly powerful imaging approaches, have enabled high resolution and genome-wide analysis of the spatial organization of chromosomes. The aim of this paper is to provide guidelines for analyzing and interpreting data obtained with genome-wide 3C methods such as Hi-C and 3C-seq that rely on deep sequencing to detect and quantify pairwise chromatin interactions.
在过去十年中,基于染色体构象捕获方法(3C)的一系列分子基因组学方法的开发与应用,再结合日益强大的成像方法,使得对染色体空间组织进行高分辨率全基因组分析成为可能。本文旨在为分析和解释通过全基因组3C方法(如Hi-C和3C-seq)获得的数据提供指导方针,这些方法依赖深度测序来检测和量化成对的染色质相互作用。
