BMC Bioinformatics is welcoming submissions to our Collection on 3D genomics.
Three-dimensional genomics (3D genomics) offers comprehensive insights into the spatial organization of the genome within the cell nucleus, facilitating the study of chromatin architecture, genome folding, and their implications for gene regulation and cellular function. This field has become essential for understanding the topological and functional relationships within the genome, identifying novel chromatin interactions and elucidating the regulatory mechanisms underpinning genomic organization.
This Collection welcomes submissions on the development of novel computational and statistical approaches for the analysis of 3D genomics data. We are particularly interested in innovative approaches that address challenges in modeling chromatin interactions and integrating multi-dimensional genomic data.
