Targeted Chromosome Conformation Capture (HiCap)
Targeted chromosome conformation capture (HiCap) is an experimental method for detecting spatial interactions of genomic features such as promoters and/or enhancers. The protocol first describes the design of sequence capture probes. After that, it provides details on the chromosome conformation capture adapted for next-generation sequencing (Hi-C ...

Visualization and data exploration of chromosome conformation capture data using Voronoi diagrams with v3c-viz [PDF]
Chromosome conformation capture (3C) sequencing approaches, like Hi-C or micro-C, allow for an unbiased view of chromatin interactions. Most analysis methods rely on so-called interaction matrices, which are derived from counting read pairs in bins of ...

Characterization of chromosomal architecture in Arabidopsisby chromosome conformation capture [PDF]
Abstract Background The packaging of long chromatin fibers in the nucleus poses a major challenge, as it must fulfill both physical and functional requirements. Until recently, insights into the chromosomal architecture of plants were mainly provided by cytogenetic studies. Complementary to these analyses,

The statistical-mechanics of chromosome conformation capture [PDF]
Since Jacob and Monod's characterization of the role of DNA elements in gene control, it has been recognized that the linear organization of genome structure is important for the regulation of gene transcription and hence the manifestation of phenotypes.

7C: Computational Chromosome Conformation Capture by Correlation of ChIP-seq at CTCF motifs [PDF]
Background Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the genome is necessary to understand how gene expression is regulated. Recent experimental techniques such as Hi-C or ChIA-PET measure long-range chromatin interactions genome-wide but are ...

Exploiting native forces to capture chromosome conformation in mammalian cell nuclei
Mammalian interphase chromosomes fold into a multitude of loops to fit the confines of cell nuclei, and looping is tightly linked to regulated function. Chromosome conformation capture (3C) technology has significantly advanced our understanding of this ...

On the demultiplexing of chromosome capture conformation data [PDF]
How to describe the multiple chromosome structures that underlie interactions among genome loci and how to quantify the occurrence of these structures in a cell population remain important challenges to solve, which can be addressed via a proper demultiplexing of chromosome capture conformation related data.
