By coupling chromatin conformation capture (3C) with PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing, we have developed a new method (CiFi) that enables analysis of genome interactions across repetitive genomic regions with low-input requirements. CiFi produces multiple interacting concatemer segments per read, facilitating genome assembly and scaffolding. Together, the approach enables genomic analysis of previously recalcitrant low-complexity loci, and of small organisms such as single insect individuals.
通过将染色质构象捕获技术（3C）与PacBio HiFi长读长测序相结合，我们开发了一种新方法（CiFi），该方法能够在低输入要求下分析重复基因组区域的基因组相互作用。CiFi每个读段产生多个相互作用的串联体片段，有助于基因组组装和支架构建。总之，该方法能够对以前难以处理的低复杂性位点以及单个昆虫个体等小型生物体进行基因组分析。
