3D genomics and its applications in precision medicine.

Three-dimensional (3D) genomics is an emerging discipline that studies the three-dimensional structure of chromatin and the three-dimensional and functions of genomes. With the help of new experimental technologies, the identification of key genes and signal pathways related to life activities and diseases is sustaining the rapid development of life science, agriculture, and medicine.

• 1 It mainly studies the three-dimensional conformation and functional regulation of intranuclear genomes, such as DNA replication, DNA recombination, genome folding, gene expression regulation, transcription factor regulation mechanism, and the maintenance of three-dimensional conformation of genomes.
• 2 Self-chromosomal conformation capture (3C) technology has been developed, and 3D genomics and related fields have developed rapidly.
• 3 In addition, chromatin interaction analysis techniques developed by 3C technologies, such as paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) and whole-genome chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), enable scientists to further study the relationship between chromatin conformation and gene regulation in different species.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
