Genome architectures revealed by tethered chromosome conformation capture and population-based modeling
Genome function is influenced by the three-dimensional organization of chromosomes. Kalhor et al. experimentally detect low-frequency intra- and interchromosomal interactions previously obscured by noise and use these data to model the genome architectures of populations of cells.
