This protocol describes the Capture Hi-C method used to characterize the 3D organization of megabased-sized targeted genomic regions at high-resolution, including boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs) and long-range chromatin interactions between regulatory and other DNA sequence elements.

Deciphering High-Resolution 3D Chromatin Organization via Capture Hi-C

The spatial organization of the genome contributes to its function and regulation in many contexts, including transcription, replication, recombination, ...

Trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) play a key role in the placenta to ensure a healthy pregnancy. We present a protocol for assessing the transcriptional status of genes in TGCs by nascent fluorescent in situ hybridization on cryostat sections of post-implantation embryos or short-term cultures of embryonic day 7 ectoplacental cones.
