A new era in 3D genome studies began with the development of the so-called 'C-methods', used for the analysis of spatial contacts between distant genomic elements. However, the idea that spatial genome organization, partitioning of the genome into structural/functional units, and the functional compartmentalization of the cell nucleus are important for the implementation of key functions of the genome arose much earlier. In this Opinion article, we briefly overview how the concept of spatial genome organization has changed over recent decades, discuss current views on the 3D genome and cell nucleus organization, and compare the experimental evidence for the inter-relation between gene regulation and the 3D genome.
