The 3D genome and its impacts on human health and disease

Abstract

Eukaryotic genomes are highly compacted in the cell nucleus. Two loci separated by a long linear distance can be brought into proximity in space through DNA-binding proteins and RNAs, which contributes profoundly to the regulation of gene expression. Recent technology advances have enabled the development and application of the chromosome conformation capture (3C) technique and a host of 3C-based methods that enable genome-scale investigations into changes in chromatin high-order structures during diverse physiological processes and diseases. In this review, we introduce 3C-based technologies and discuss how they can be utilized to glean insights into the impacts of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization in normal physiological and disease processes.

Keywords
