Title: What Sequencing and Bayesian Modeling Tell Us About the Three-Dimensional Organization of Mammalian Genomes

Keywords: DNA 3D structure ; high-throughput technology
Abstract:

Understanding how chromosomes fold provides insights into transcription regulation hence functional state of the cell. Recently, chromosomal conformation capture (3C)-related technologies have been developed to provide a genome-wide view of chromatin organization. However, analyzing data obtained from these new assays is a grand challenge. We propose a series of Bayesian probabilistic models to better understand and interpret Hi-C data. We also discuss the observations we made when applying our models to real Hi-C datasets.
