Résumé

Chromosome conformation capture and its variants interrogate population-average chromatin structure at a higher resolution and throughput than microscopic methods. Capture Hi-C is a variant tailored for the simultaneous assessment of all interactions with thousands of specific bait sequences, so is particularly suited to genome-wide studies of promoter interactions with distal regulatory elements, such as enhancers. We present the principles and methods for Promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C), from experimental design to data analysis.
