Term info

definition

3C stands for "chromosome conformation capture", which is the original method developed for the class of techniques later collectively also called "chromosome conformation capture". A 3C experiment quantifies interactions between a single pair of genomic loci, which can be used, for example, to detect promoter-enhancer interactions. Ligated fragments are detected using PCR with known primers.
