Generation and Analysis of Chromosomal Contact Maps of Yeast Species

Genome-wide derivatives of the chromosome conformation capture (3C) technique are now well-established approaches to study the multiscale average organization of chromosomes from bacteria to mammals. However, the experimental parameters of the protocol have to be optimized for different species, and the downstream experimental products (i.e., pair-end sequences) are influenced by these parameters. Here, we describe a complete pipeline to generate 3C-seq libraries and compute chromosomal contact maps of yeast species.
