In Situ HiC.

In situ HiC uses the relative frequency of DNA-DNA ligation events to reconstruct the three-dimensional architecture of a genome. As such, restriction enzyme digested ends of genomic DNA within fixed nuclei are tagged with biotinylated dNTPs. DNA-DNA ligation events generated via proximity ligation are then captured, amplified and next generation sequenced to determine their linear genomic position, but also their three-dimensional relationship. Here, we describe these steps in detail.
