Genomes are not simply linear sequences of DNA, but are organized into complex, three-dimensional (3D) structures within the cell nucleus. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology offers a powerful and unbiased method to map these 3D interactions across the entire genome. This capability provides unprecedented insight into how spatial organization influences fundamental biological processes like gene regulation and disease development.
