Quantitative Analysis of Intra-chromosomal Contacts: The 3C-qPCR Method

Edité par CCSD ; Humana Press/Springer Imprint -
International audience. The chromosome conformation capture (3C) technique is fundamental to many population-based methods investigating chromatin dynamics and organization in eukaryotes. Here, we provide a modified quantitative 3C (3C-qPCR) protocol for improved quantitative analyses of intra-chromosomal contacts. We also describe an algorithm for data normalization which allows more accurate comparisons between contact profiles.
