Promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C) identifies significant interactions between promoters and distal regions, enabling the assignment of potential regulatory sequences to their target genes.

Corcoran1, Christel Krueger2 1Nuclear Dynamics Programme, The Babraham Institute, 2Epigenetics Programme, The Babraham Institute, 3Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge We describe a robust and versatile protocol for analyzing nuclear architecture by 3D DNA FISH using directly labeled fluorescent probes. Biology Live Cell Imaging of Early Autophagy Events: Omegasomes and Beyond Eleftherios Karanasios1, Eloise Stapleton2, Simon A. Walker1, Maria Manifava1, Nicholas T. Ktistakis1 1Signalling Programme, The Babraham Institute, 2MRC Group, Cardiff School of Biosciences, Cardiff University Time-lapse microscopy of fluorescently labeled autophagy markers allows monitoring of the dynamic autophagy response with high temporal resolution. Using specific autophagy and organelle markers in a combination of 3 different colors, we can follow the contribution of a protein to autophagosome formation in a robust spatial and temporal context.
