Topological interactions between distant DNA segments play fundamental roles in the function of eukaryotic genomes. While tremendous progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms shaping intramolecular chromosome loop structures, limitations in our ability to distinguish specific chromosome conformations between paired molecules has hindered research into the role of interactions across separate chromosomal DNA molecules. Our recent development of an approach allowing analysis of contacts between sister chromatids now provides an opportunity for research into topological interactions to enter a new phase. Initial analyses with sister chromatid-sensitive Hi-C (scsHi-C)…
