Acquisition and Analysis Methods for Hi-C Data from Medaka Early Embryos.

The three-dimensional (3D) structure of the genome undergoes dynamic changes during the developmental process. While Hi-C is a technique that enables the acquisition of genome 3D structure data across various species and cell types, existing Hi-C analysis programs may face challenges in detecting and comparing structures effectively depending on the characteristics of the genome or cell type. Here, we describe a method for acquiring Hi-C data from medaka early embryos and quantifying the structural changes during the developmental process.
